Reasons for removing this configuration: . gdb 6.0 does not build on this configuration. http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/bugs/1411 Build of gdb-6.0 on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 fails This is a different build failure than the build failures with hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11. . there is no development activity for this target . there is no QA activity for this target . HP's test drive cluster does not include an hp-ux 10.* machine . HP has discontinued and obsoleted hp-ux 10.* http://h21007.www2.hp.com/dspp/tech/tech_TechDocumentDetailPage_IDX/1,1701,5143,00.html frequently asked questions -- hp-ux 2002-06-30 hp-ux 10.20 removed from corporate price list 2003-06-30 hp-ux 10.20 product support no longer available from HP Reasons for keeping this configuration: . Someone (me) is actively working on native hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11. If gdb works on hpux 11.11, the incremental effort for development and QA of hpux 10.20 is not as big. . There is at least one user (Dave A), which means that there are probably more users. Philosophically, I see the issue as priorities. It takes work to maintain and QA gdb on hpux 10.20. It takes work even if gdb on hpux 11.11 is already working. I would rather spend my attention somewhere else, and so would everybody else in the world, judging by the level of activity. Comments?
