This is for mips-elf:

cagney@to-dhcp51$ ./gdb /tmp/a.out
GNU gdb 6.3.50_2004-11-01-cvs
...
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0xa00202b0: file hello.c, line 5.
(gdb) target sim
Connected to the simulator.
(gdb) load

(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at hello.c:5

Joseph,

Given that no one has raised a concern over my original point that it 
would break _AIX_ and _HPUX_ (the latter doesn't build anyway) (perhaps 
this key point was lost in the noise), and given that Kevin's also given 
his approval, you're finally clear to throw the switch and assume solib.

Kevin's dummy solib simplifies things slightly.   I think the real patch 
will just need to add #include "solib.h" where needed, and remove all 
the existing *.tm:DEPRECATED_TM_FILE=solib.h and {tm,nm}-*.h:#include 
"solib.h".  I'd also test it on a GNU/Linux system.

Have fun, and thank you for your patience.  (Hmm, what's left, if 
Solaris is useable, it's time to add a NEWS entry!)
