Hmm,

from a pragmatic POV, may I ask, why we do not simply change the
default of

--with-static-standard-libraries --disable-source-highlight

I do not even miss a highlight in gdb and certainly not
in gdbserver, the software is just extremely good as is ;-)

... I just learned recently about backward step, wow ...

I mean the default should just work,
if someone wants some more highlight, then they should just
add --enable-source-highlight
and if that is necessary, do additionally
--without-static-standard-libraries


What do you think?


Bernd.
