    I suspect this change:
 
    2002-01-19  Mark Kettenis  <kettenis@gnu.org>
 
 	   * i386gnu-nat.c: Include "i386-tdep.h".
 	   (fetch_fpregs): Simplify code dealing with uninitialized floating
 	   point states such that it doesn't require FP7_REGNUM.
 
    but have not tried backing it out to see if the problem goes away.
 
 That's not very likely :-) since i386gnu-nat.c isn't used on Linux.
 It's more likely that the following change is the culprit:
 
 2002-01-14  Michael Snyder  <msnyder@redhat.com>
 
 	* linux-proc.c (linux_do_thread_registers): Ignore fpxregs
 	until we can resolve portability issues.
 	* gregset.h: Remove references to fpxregs.
 	* gcore.c (gcore_command): Initialize note_sec to NULL.
 
 The SSE registers are no longer saved in the generated core, and upon
 loading that core GDB fills them with the dummy values you're seeing.
 We should probably XFAIL that test for i?86-*-linux-gnu*.  Or we
 should correctly implement generic handling of extended registers sets
 in GDB.
