It is strange as we have in gdb, if I remember correctly, an explicit check of 
the size of prstatus:

gdb/bfd/elf.c:

    if defined (HAVE_PRSTATUS_T)

    static bfd_boolean
    elfcore_grok_prstatus (bfd *abfd, Elf_Internal_Note *note)
...
      if (note->descsz == sizeof (prstatus_t))
...

How do you test this patch ? Do you use native gdb on ARM ? Because, for m68k, 
cross-compiled gdb does not work (it cannot have sizeof(prstatus_t) for m68k).

Laurent
