Hi Andrew,

Ohhhh I'm crossing the politically correct line again, where's the valium.

What I meant you made probably him jump through so many hoops as you are
making me you probably just pissed the guy off
so he went looking for another job ( he probably is back programming
windows now ).

I'll readily admit to being a hothead ( sometimes justifiably so ).

Some of the stuff I'm being asked to do by you has very little bearing on
code quality bugwise just Andrew's
coding style vs my own.

If anything the code quality may be deteriorating owing to being asked to
move code around so much & possibly being tired of retesting it,
I currently have 4 versions of the code to support the post 5.0 32 & 64 bit
patches the 5.0 32 & 64 bit patches & a lot of other work to do
besides & probably falling back on it, when enthuasism is low my
productivity deteriorates badly, this crap is pissing me off.
I will remove the non multi arch definitions when I don't have to support
gdb-5.0.

The last patch I posted you took 5 months to come back with comments, Alan
Cox usually takes 30 minutes & he a very busy man
Being overbearing may be stifling gdb.

We did our first 31 bit gdb drop 20 months ago.
Even redhat has a experimental 64 bit drop for the last 6 months & it still
isn't gnu.org the repository .

I don't understand what you mean here.
