Comment(by greenfeld):

 Personally I was using the gdb installed by yum
 (gdb-7.4.50.20120120-49.fc17.armv7hl, from the updates repository).

 Unfortunately personally I am not familiar with ARM assembler; I was more
 along for the ride on this one. Please see the other ticket where we could
 not figure out how to see the d registers mentioned in gdb's disassembly
 of the assembler code.

 If those are standard floating point registers, perhaps it's a different
 type of mistake.
