However, Debian on Linux/alpha still works and we're still providing up-to-date packages. So, please don't drop the Linux/alpha target from GDB. In general, currently not bootstrapped targets can be automatically bootstrapped in Debian with the help of the rebootstrap project [1]. So, we can potentially support anything the toolchain/glibc/kernel supports. Adrian > [1] https://jenkins.debian.net/view/rebootstrap/ -- .''`.
