Hi,

GCC 4.6.1 manual states that, starting with version 4.6, targets
Linux_x86 and Darwin_x86 use "-fomit-frame-pointer" when not
optimizing for size. This seems to be also the case for Hurd_x86,
since compiling GNU Mach with it breaks i386/i386/locore.S:kdb_kintr,
as it expects to find the base frame pointer in ebp.

I see three solutions for this problem:

 1.- Modify GCC build options to disable "-fomit-frame-pointer" for
Hurd_x86 target.
 2.- Compile GNU Mach with "-fno-omit-frame-pointer".
 3.- Fix all code which depends on having the frame pointer in ebp.

Personally, I'd go with the first one. What do you think?
