These are from a slightly patched GDB (Debian's), using the 20051119
snapshot, but may be useful anyway.  All are for GNU/Linux native.

Built OK, but testsuite disabled for other reasons: mips, mipsel, arm,
m68k.

Of all of Debian's architctures, none failed to build (which may be a
first for a snapshot).  HPPA hasn't tried yet but Randolph's been
active lately so I presume it will work when the build daemon is
available.  SPARC is in the worst shape, followed by Alpha, which is
pretty typical.
