This is larger than what we can accept without a copyright assignment with the FSF -- I looked at the records and couldn't find one. Let me know if you'd like to get that started. We'll also need, at least: - A gdb manual update. - A gdbserver --help update - NEWS entry - ChangeLog entry See [1] for more details. A couple offhand questions: - How do you plan on using this from the gdb side? - Is there a reason for picking "+" over some other way / syntax?
