Hello,

Just a quick heads up: The current tentative date for branching
GDB (7.5 release) is Mon Jun 4th, which is a little over three weeks
away.

I've created a wiki page for known issues that need to be fixed
before then:

http://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_7.5_Release

When you add an issue, please make sure you add a name so we know
who is coordinating the effort. If you don't know who can work
on it, please just post the issue here, and we'll try to find some
help.

I only know of one issue, which is a noticeable performance degradation
that was reported a while ago:

http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14002

There is a workaround, so could possibly considered NOT blocking
for the release.

Tom, I put you as the main lead on this one, with ???, as one
of your commits was identified as the one after which the slow-
down is noticed. It's a first guess; we can re-assign, including
to myself, if you'd like.
