Excellent! Please go ahead and commit those patches to mainline.

Unfortunately, in the meantime GDB 7.9 has already branched. It would
be really good to have those patches in the branch as well.

Joel, given that the patches would have been ready before the branch
date, except for the delay to get the FSF assignment in place, would
it be OK with you to backport the patch set to the branch as well?

The patch set does not touch non-PowerPC code at all, and even within
PowerPC code, there should be only minimal effect unless you're actually
using the process record feature.

Thanks,
Ulrich
