But if you want to give me a URL for a patch, any time this weekend or the beginning of next week is a good time for testbedding. It takes roughly 5 hours to test all configurations on one version of gdb now -- I am not in a position to testbed lots of patches. The big time sink is that I test (all gdb) * (all binutils) and there are lots of each of them. It's much faster if I run just one test script, but for a symbol table lookup patch, I want to run the whole suite. The build time for gcc is increasing even worse than Gate's Law, also. (Gates' Law: every 18 months, the speed of software halves). Michael C Gripe, gripe.
