 Wrapping the relevant parts of this file into #ifdef MIPS_FP_SUPPORT 
would be as easy though and would qualify as a proper fix given that we 
have no XML description support for the MIPS target (so we need to supply 
the inexistent registers in the protocol; or maybe we can return NULL in 
`dbg_get_reg' to get them padded out in the RSP packet, I haven't checked 
if generic KGDB code supports this feature).
