We need somewhere to put processor/os specific stuff. Yes, I'd like to do that anyway. There have been two different attempts to organize platform-specific stuff, each incomplete. I think readers just flip over those sections now, so I don't think their presence is objectionable, but it is hard to find, say, all remote debugging details or all native debugging details. Right now the conditionals are making it hard even to figure out what the organization should be, since there are so many (about 280 ifset/ifclears in the 11K lines of gdb.texinfo). Makes the manual look like an over-ifdefed piece of source code... Stan
