[PATCH RESEND] gdb/sparc: implement PRSTATUS elf32-sparc handler
This patch resend addresses an issue in GDB where SPARC ELF32 coredumps contain unparsed PRSTATUS notes, leading to incorrect core dump interpretations. It introduces a handler for the PRSTATUS note within the BFD library’s elf32-sparc.c file, enabling GDB to correctly parse these notes and improve core dump analysis.
