   It could by now have even been committed, if only we'd not been dragged 
   down this rat-hole where people start insisting that it has to be tested 
   on old crufty systems that likely don't even build.  If you want drive 
   away native GNU and GNU/Linux developers from what is ment to be a GNU 
   project, tell them to fix vax-ultrix.

To set this straight: vax-ultrix is an old crufty system that *does*
build.  But can we please leave vax-ultrix out of this discussion.  As
soon as it really hampers progress, I'll happily scrap it.

While I recognize that GDB's primary target is GNU/Linux, moving into
the direction of GDB as a GNU-only debugger is a bad idea.  As I've
stated before, support for other systems makes us take the right
design issues.  But what's more important, by turning GDB into a
GNU-only debugger you'll probably loose some of the few active
contributors that we have left.
