hi, GDB's README file is quite stale, beginning with: README for gdb-6.3 release Updated 20, November, 2006 this confused a user, who thought they had 6.3 sources, rather than more recent ones. The attached patch removes all the 6.3ness, referring to a generic VERSION. I also removed the listing of the top-level directory -- it's rather specific and I don't think useful. ok? nathan -- Nathan Sidwell :: http://www.codesourcery.com :: CodeSourcery
