Hmm, that was against GDB 6.6. It's unfortunate that support has been removed without leaving Guile folks an opportunity to do something about it. Is there a chance that minimal support could be reinstated? It's true that most of the `scm-' files in 6.6 are unfinished, outdated, or complex (they actually re-implement parts of Guile, which is admittedly overkill and certainly hard to maintain). By "minimal support", I mean that we'd arrange to move most support routines in Guile, and leave (almost) maintenance-free code in GDB. What do you think? Thanks, Ludovic.
