For example see sim/arm/armemu.c or > gdb/rdi-share/ardi.c. Is there a problem with that? I'm not entirely current on these issues. Apparently this is historically acceptable for the simulator. Yuck. Andrew did some heroic work to improve the situation: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb/2002-09/msg00135.html but I don't remember seeing any major changes since then. In any case, you're adding new files to a directory in which everything is copyright FSF. That doesn't seem like a good choice. The only new files are tests, right? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery, LLC
