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that most of the `scm-' files in 6.6 are unfinished, outdated, or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.
