Tipo from testing.

Typo?  You mean that you intended to remove the #if 0 block before
submitting the patch?  Or what?

Yes, "tipo". As Stan Shebs where the word comes from.

Is it ok with that change?

If you remove the #if 0 block and re-indent the #else block. Yes.

Done. Committed the attached.

        * amd64-linux-nat.c (ps_get_thread_area): When architecture is
	i386 use PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA.  Suggested by Roland McGrath.
