+	From 2000-02-28 Peter Schauer <pes@regent.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de>:
+	Make NEW_PROC_ABI interface functional on Solaris x86.
+	* sol-thread.c (ps_lgetLDT): Rewrite to use new
+ 	procfs_find_LDT_entry function from procfs.c, mostly copied from
+ 	lin-thread.c.
+	* inferior.h, procfs.c (procfs_get_pid_fd): Removed, no longer
+ 	needed.
