We need to push the MIPS fixes out fairly quickly. Sounds like > this should be held back, perhaphs for 6.3 or a 6.2.2. Please don't hold this back! Producing a decent backtrace is one of the most important features of a debugger (think about debugging a crash from a core dump); a debugger that cannot reliably do that cannot be trusted. I really don't understand what's to ``hold back'' here: Mark already made a patch, that patch was reviewed by myself and by Michael, and I already reported that it fixes the original problems. So it is beyond me why the MIPS fixes can be in GDB 6.2.1, while the i386 prolog analysis patch cannot.
