I'm not close to that yet. . readline does not build with gcc. I decided to tackle this first. I'm creating some patches for the standalone readline and I will submit them to Chet Ramey, the readline maintainer. If he likes them, then I will ask Elena to put them in our local readline as well. . I have to decide which compilers to build gdb with. There are four compilers to choose from: gcc, the bundled cc, the unbundled ansi c compiler, and the aC++ compiler. The bundled cc isn't even installed on the HP test drive machines so I expect that I will just punt on that. I think that all the others need to work though. . I have to decide which compilers to build test programs with, and figure out which debug formats make sense to test. Also there is 32-bit versus 64-bit and pre-standard-c++-library versus standard-c++-library. . I have to do something about all the little cheats in migchain and migbat where they are not really set up for multiple architectures yet. I don't really have to fix them, but I have to get them to the point where I can do work with them. And here's a big one: . What do we do about hpux 10.20? There's no hpux 10.20 in the HP test drive pool. HP has a good reason for this: they discontinued hpux 10.20 on 2002-06-30, and obsoleted it on 2003-06-30! http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechDocumentDetailPage_IDX/1,1701,5143,00.html All of hpux10* is no longer supported by HP. So we have no maintainer and no machine. But we do have a recent PR, PR gdb/1411. I would like to give hppa*-hp-hpux10* the boot. Put it through the obsoletion process, and then remove any test code which is hpux10-specific, and then not worry about breaking hpux10 while I am fixing hpux11. What do you think of that? Michael C
