   Ah, that's right.  I remember seeing this now.

I just sent a new patch that implements the generic `info float'
implementation to gdb-patches.  Once it is checked in, people using
the new register layout can remove the (re)definition of FLOAT_INFO
from their `tm-xxx.h' files and remove the old code.

We are having a devil of a time getting gdb to work with our embedded m68k 
processor. We have 4.18 gdb and a server that can either be Solaris or
Linux. Our problem has been getting a suitable stub to run on the board
side.

Yesterday, somebody suggested that maybe what we should do is see if
someone has gotten some sort of BDM solution to work.

1. Has anyone gotten this to work?
2. Can gdb talk to the board using a parallel port or are we required to
   go through a serial port?

This would be much appreciated since it would totally solve the stub side
of the problem.

TIA
