Ah, I thought that we already needed two different versions for GDB, because of this line in gdb/configure.ac: AC_PREREQ(2.59) But the real requirement is 2.64, and seems to come from config/override.m4 (not sure how it's invoked though). This applies to all projects under binutils-gdb, but also in the gcc source repository, doesn't it? So we would need to change all of binutils-gdb and gcc at the same time, in sync? Simon
