However, at this point I believe this target is no longer in use: - There is no supported Cell/B.E. hardware any more. - There is no supported operating system supporting Cell/B.E. any more. I've still been running daily regression tests until now, but I'll be unable to continue to do so much longer since the systems I've been using for this will go away. Rather than leave Cell/B.E. support untested/unmaintained, I'd therefore propose to declare support obsolete and remove the code with the next release (after GDB 8.3). This email serves as the first announcement according to the process documented in our wiki: https://sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/Internals%20Obsoleting-code If there are no objections within a week, I will follow up with another email to the gdb-announce@ mailing list.
