	* main.c (captured_main): Remove 'count' varible and the
	ALIGN_STACK_ON_ENTRY block that used it.  Error out if --core and
	--pid options were issued simultaneously.  If an explicit pid
	option was passed, don't fallback to core file.  Detect extra
	arguments better in the presence of explicit pid or core
	arguments.

	gdb/doc/
	* gdbint.texinfo (Host Conditionals): Remove mention of
	ALIGN_STACK_ON_ENTRY.
