Oh sure, I tend to forget things like that. Good thing you remind me.
(I hope Thunderbird doesn't mess up with line wrapping.)

Subject: [PATCH] Rename variable with confusing name
I saw this gem of not so legible code in solib-svr4.c (scan_dyntag):
if (dyn_tag == dyntag)
and thought it deserved a small rename.
This just renames variables to be a bit more clear for those who read the
code. I also constified the parameter because, why not. The same was
done in scan_dyntag_auxv as well.
Tested only by rebuilding, since the change was done mechanically.
gdb/Changelog:
2014-08-01 Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@ericsson.com>
* solib-svr4.c (scan_dyntag): Rename dyntag and dyn_tag variables.
(scan_dyntag_auxv): Same.
