I think `they loose'. The senario you describe is, at this stage, strictly hypothetical. It only occures if, at some future stage, a binutils or gcc containing this change is made before GDB. Besides, such edge conditions should be covered by the CrossGCC FAQ (has that really not been changed in >3 years?). enjoy, Andrew
