I'll step forward to do PARISC support for GDB. These may be my famous last words ;) AFAIK the issues revolve around some final FSF paperwork that Alan Modra needs to complete to get the debian .dpatch's accepted upstream? All of our modifications to gdb are in the debian package as patches. We do have a gdb cvs tree, but that is based on Randolph's 5.1 merge. I will get this up to date as soon as possible. As for new development, and moving forward with PARISC (HP/UX support?) that will take my time, research and development. Not to mention more gdb source digging... c.
