Sigh! I'm a bit worried by this removal of support for systems which are deemed old/unmaintained/whatever, although I understand how leaving them in the code base could hamper development. However, imagine someone who just happens to need a working GDB version on one of these platforms--it could be next to impossible getting there, and the better job we do at cleanup, the harder it will be. So how about adding to the distribution a file that would list, for each platform whose support was discontinued, the last GDB version that was known to build and work on that platform? This would at least allow people to fetch such an old version, build it, use it, and maybe retrofit that support into the current sources using the old version as the base.
