Hello Daisuke,

Please also note that I have changed the downloadable file on the
crash extension modules web page to crash-gcore-command-1.0.tar.gz
from the older gcore.tar.bz2.  Keeping a versioned package will
make our maintenance chores a bit easier.  

Also, when the package is compiled from within an rpmbuild framework
using $(RPM_OPT_FLAGS), the gcore_get_regs_from_bt_output() function
generates a compiler warning.  I've attached a patch for that.

Thanks,
  Dave
