Like I said, this is the internal contents of the note. readelf
tells you the sizes and locations of the note, and if those are
sane, you can look at the data directly and interpret according to
the struct type. This is what you have to do to have anything to
say about whether the dumping is being done correctly or not.
Please do it.
Here is what I got from the core file (using a bit of mmap() magic, so
hopefully it is correct), I took and formated it a bit so that it is a
bit easier on the eyes. Some values look quite bogus; like most of
the pr_*id regs.
If you want to check it yourself, I can always send you the core dump,
it is only 30k compressed.

The configure checks for the fields of lwpstatus_t are what I had
in mind. Look at bfd/elf.c and see the various HAVE_* macros that
elfcore_grok_lwpstatus depends on. Make sure your bfd/config.h
defines all the ones that should exist looking at Hurd's
<sys/procfs.h>.
Looks sane, HAVE_LWPSTATUS_T, HAVE_LWPSTATUS_T_PR_FPREG, and
HAVE_LWPSTATUS_T_PR_REG, are defined.

And removed config.cache, I hope?
I forgot to re-run autoheader. GDB is not silent about the size
mis-match about fpregset. But it still doesn't read the core dumps
like it should.
