Adding Aleksandar in CC. Aleksandar, do you know if QNX is still interested in maintaining the Neutrino support in upstream GDB? This is code that upstream maintainers can't test (not even compile-test), so without involvement from QNX there's nothing we can do to ensure the code still makes sense. > MAINTAINERS has a lot of obsolete entries.

This is not urgent, so we can wait for a response from Aleksandar (hopefully). Simon
