(Sorry for taking such a long time to reply to this, I was internet-less
for a month.)

Looking at my patch now, I now fully agree with the rejection. Thank you
for rejecting it. :)

I have the WinCE gdbserver port 99% ready for submission. There are just
a few other things I would like to solve first: is the target
name that I have been calling arm-wince-mingw32ce at cegcc.sourceforge.net
ok, or should I rename it?; Some cleanups at the mingw32ce side, that are
needed for the gdbserver; Submit a few gdb fixes that are either global
or PE related.

Removing the current wince support now, means that I will have to add
a few things back again later (mostly autoconf stuff, and the
target header), but there's no problem with me, if it is wanted.
Else, I will remove them with the gdbserver port.

Cheers,
