Re: GDB record patch 0.1.3.1 for GDB-6.8 release

Good --- making some good progress toward testing it.
At a fairly basic level, it seems to work, but there 
may have been a little bit-rot around the most tricky
bits (stepping backward in and out of functions, that
sort of thing).

Hui, you might look at isolating just the 
"set exec-direction" part and the target bits.
Those might integrate well with what you are doing.
