Just one problem (but it came from the other linux targets) and one question.

Actually I'm trying to build: ./configure --target=s390-elf s390-elf being a a fairly generic s390 target. The reason for doing this is to ensure that the non linix specific parts of the s390 target really are native independant. If you check the MAINTAINERS file you'll notice that all targets (with the exception of the HP/PA, which has no maintainer) can be built as a cross debugger. Any way, I'm not having much luck. The configury changes needed for this are very straight forward. Unfortunatly the tweeks to s390-tdep.c are not. Sigh. For the record, the problems are not new. As I suggested last time, I can think of two possible courses of action: o we try to fix the s390 problems and then get an IBM copyright transfer o IBM transfer copyright for these files to the FSF and then they be included in GDB as a patch. This would free up the code so that others can address the problems. A very detailed commentry on the file s390-tdep.c is attached. Andrew
