I was told that importing expat was unacceptable. I was also told that requiring it be installed to build GDB was unacceptable. This is about the best I can manage given those restrictions. Could you explain why you want to avoid expat? It's not like you have to use a DLL version; it should not complicate shipping GDB at all. It just has to be in CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS when you're building GDB. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
