That's good to hear.  I guess we should think about importint the newest readline
sometime after 5.0 branches.

Note that in some older versions of the Cygwin DLL (possibly in B20.1)
there was an error which caused the 115200 baud rate to be incorrectly
handled.  Everything should work ok if you are using the Cygwin CD or if
you are using a later cygwin snapshot.

[Reply-to: set to gdb-patches]

Looking at what is still outstanding, and assuming I get back positive
e-mails, I think it will be possible to cut the GDB 5 branch around
Tuesday lunch GMT.

Hi Scott

Compiling the current GDB on my Intel machine with `--target=arm-linux', I 
get:

gcc -g        -o gdb main.o libgdb.a    ../bfd/libbfd.a ../readline/libreadline.a ../opcodes/libopcodes.a  ../libiberty/libiberty.a -lncurses    ../libgui/src/libgui.a -L/var/tmp/build/binutils-arm/itcl/itcl/unix -litcl3.0 -L/var/tmp/build/binutils-arm/itcl/itk/unix -litk3.0 -L/var/tmp/build/binutils-arm/tix/unix/tk8.0 -ltix4.1.8.0 -L/var/tmp/build/binutils-arm/tk/unix -ltk8.0 -L/var/tmp/build/binutils-arm/tcl/unix -ltcl8.0   -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 -ldl  -lieee -lm -lm  ../libiberty/libiberty.a  -ldl -rdynamic
libgdb.a(values.o): In function `value_being_returned':
/usr/src/sourceware/src/gdb/values.c:1542: undefined reference to `arm_linux_extract_return_value'
libgdb.a(infrun.o): In function `handle_inferior_event':
/usr/src/sourceware/src/gdb/infrun.c:2296: undefined reference to `arm_get_longjmp_target'

These functions are defined in arm-linux-nat.c but required by 
config/arm/tm-linux.h.  Should we create a new arm-linux-tdep.c file for these 
functions, or are they genuinely not useful outside a native environment?

Thanks
