It's a copy of a previous gdb.sum (the one I got from running the testsuite before making my change). I am realizing that my situation might be different from yours, since in my case, the compiler can change daily. I also work on dozens of different machines, many different OSes, arches, etc. What I mean that by is that everything changes all the time. But perhaps in your case, keeping a reference gdb.sum around might be a good option for you and save you the trouble of having to generate it every time. There is still the fact that the testsuite also evolves quite a bit, so even in your case this might not be a practical suggestion. -- Joel
