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. Mark
