I'm only considering merging the event notification in in MI. I realise this probably involves other files such as infrun.c but hopefully these changes can be separated from more extensive ones that you may have made. > >Could you please tell me where you think the best place to start would be? > >I guess CVS would be better than a tarball.

Did you tag the merge? Is it gdb-424? I have heard that Apple are moving MacOSX over to Intel architecture. Is it possible to get a copy of Darwin (or even a preview of MacOSX) for Intel so that I can put it on a partition on my PC? That way I can compare the output of my merged version of FSF GDB with that of Apple GDB. Nick
