Perhaps, if you have some time, you could help us improve the situation? Some of us have been hacking on GDB for long enough that we don't realize that these sorts of questions are not obvious, so your feedback is important. I had a look at the GDB website, and the "contribute" page (http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/contribute/, click on "contributing" at the top of the main web page) has a short text pointing to the CONTRIBUTE file. If you are willing to send patches to this file, I'm sure Eli and/or I are willing to review them (Eli is our documentation maintainer). -- Joel
