Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2018 13:11:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181108131041.14909-1-pedromfc@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

As suggested in
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-10/msg00510.html, this
patch changes the documentation for the VSX tdesc feature to make it
clear that the altivec and FPU features are requirements.
