Sorry, in my case, it's simply lack of time.

I just did a test-rebuild with current gdb-7_6-branch (presuming Joel's
new patches are in).

Using the same set of configuration options, I have been using for
gdb-7.5.x, all targets build fine on Linux.

However, there is a new breakdown for the m32r on mingw32-w64-{x86_64,i386}:

..../configure --build=i386-pc-linux-gnu \
--host=x86_64-w64-mingw32 --target=m32r-rtems4.11
--enable-sim [...] \
...
checking how to recognize dependent libraries... configure: error:
Sorry, but hardware support in this simulator unconditionally
relies on dv-sockser.o which is unavailable for your host. Please fix
this simulator.
...

As gdb-7.5.x built fine with the same configuration, this to me
qualifies as a regression - Or is this just a latent, so far silently
accepted, but dysfunctional part being revealed by the new configuration
magic?
