Use PTRACE_PEEKUSER to get fs_base/gs_base
* amd64-linux-nat.c: Include <sys/user.h>. (ps_get_thread_area): Use PTRACE_PEEKUSER to get fs_base/gs_base if HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_FS_BASE or HAVE_STRUCT_USER_REGS_STRUCT_GS_BASE is defined. * configure.ac: Check if the fs_base and gs_base members of `struct user_regs_struct' exist. * config.in: Regenerated. * configure: Likewise.
