Wow, thanks! Don't feel compeled to look at it. It would take me more time to investigate as I'm not familiar with this area, but I'm still happy to do it. > The second thing is the warning.

I agree that an informative message on the command line would be useful, and the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the warning is that we should be mimicking what we're doing for libthread_db. But also, I think what we will be doing will also depend on how we see the future. I get the impression with this warning that we eventually expect all GNU/Linux systems to all provide whatever feature is needed for the improved method to work. But solib-svr4 is used on other platforms too - do we expect it to be the default on those as well? > I will get back to you when I have more news about what's going on with > the SDT parser. Thanks again, I really appreciate that! -- Joel
