We still use alpha-osf5* targets, but alpha-os1-tdep.c is used for all alpha targets. I looked at the CVS logs, and I made a few changes to it recently (end of Dec 2004). So I would like to keep that file for a little while longer. > infptrace.c > > I'd love to remove this old file (replaced by inf-ptrace.c) > but I don't think we quite can yet.

This shouldn't be very difficult, should it. The only issue is that AIX machines are so sloooooow, it makes everything take a long time. That's the only observations I have on your proposed list. I agree with the rest of your list. -- Joel
