( gdb/1669: "64-bit Solaris does not work" is just one of the problems). Can someone tell me what the status and planned future of this platform is? (gdb/MAINTAINERS calls it "(devolved)") I have put in some effort and fixed the most urgent problems so that it's usable for me now. My knowledge of gdb source code is quite limited however (just 2 weeks old) and some of the fixes definitely will need some more work, which I would be willing to do with some help. Does it make sense that I send my changes to gdb-patches? Michael Mueller
