Re: Can we have the intl directory back?

[Paul Schlie]

I have to confess being thoroughly confused about what is meant by:

 GNU vs. NON-GNU systems; and in what way it's relevant?

As if the term "GNU system" is being used as a euphemism for Linux,
implying that decisions may become increasing biased toward Linux, it
would be most unfortunate; as regardless of one's philosophical views,
uniform support of GNU tools for all reasonably significant POSIX based
platforms and supported targets likely remain fundamentally significant
to the GNU project's continued long term success, and should not become
confused by any potential desire affect Linux's longer term success at
the expense of others (which I trust isn't the intent or case).

You might want to take a look at the gnu.org web site, which describes
this (and many other) aspect of the GNU project.  Remeber, GDB is the
_GNU_ Debugger - part of a larger whole.

The GNU project's views disagree with you on the above.

Further discussion on this topic, however, seems to me to be off topic
for a GDB development list - especially gdb-patches.  Take it to a
general GNU forum.
