But I'll have a tremendous sense of accomplishment! For what it's worth, I will continue to use my i386-unknown-freebsd4.7 system, which has GCC 2.95.4 with stabs as my primary development machine for the foreseeable future. This GCC 2.95.4 is the default compiler on FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE which, to be honest, I've patched to fix a debug info generation problem caused by the FreeBSD-specific modifications. > Some time ago Mark Kettenis updated i387-tdep.c to use frame_register_read > for "info float".

At the time I checked in that patch, I did submit a patch to the testsuite: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2002-11/msg00278.html Unfortunately it seems to have fallen between the cracks, and I totally forgot about it; it has been happily sitting in my tree ever since :-(. I sort-of prefer my patch over yours. Should I check it in without Fernando's approval? Mark
