I believe some projects (binutils and gcc maybe?) draw a distinction between "an ISO C compiler" and "an ISO C standard library" and require the former but not the latter. I assume we require an ISO C runtime for the rest of GDB. If that's true, then how about the attached patch? -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery 2007-03-30 Daniel Jacobowitz * README: Mention ISO C library requirement.

If you do not have an ISO C compiler for your system, you may be able to download and install the GNU CC compiler. It is available via anonymous FTP from the -directory `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc'. +directory `ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/gcc'. GDB also requires an ISO +C standard library. The GDB remote server, gdbserver, builds with some +non-ISO standard libraries - e.g. for Windows CE. GDB uses Expat, an XML parsing library, to implement some target-specific features. Expat will be linked in if it is available at build time, or
