Please shout if there is something > I missed :). You may have noticed the series of patches I just posted to support the new powerpc64le-linux platform. I'm certainly aware that this comes in at a very late time, but given the timing of when powerpc64le-linux support shows up in the other parts of the core toolchain (binutils 2.24, gcc 4.9, glibc 2.19) it would be really nice if GDB 7.7 also had support, to complete the picture ... On the other hand, it would certainly be preferable to allow for at least a couple of days before checking the series in to give people a chance to comment, so it seems unlikely this could be in place in the branch by tomorrow. So I guess I'm wondering if you see workable options to still get powerpc64le-linux support into a release in the near future ... Maybe we could do a 7.7.1 ? Sorry again for the last-minute request; the whole powerpc64le project has been running on a short timeline, and GDB support got pushed back by other requirements :-( Thanks for your support!
