This patch is no longer useful as of today, since it was meant to be used to store the python library. But Doug came up with something better since then, now committed: http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-05/msg00476.html (Allow python to find its files if moved from original location) There might be a day when we have something else that we'd like to store in the lib directory. But in the meantime, this is to confirm that this patch is withdrawn. -- Joel
