The cases (well ok, case defs.h) I looked at definitly suggested this. I think we should just assume this is the case and zap all of these (if you've not done it already. > I cannot confirm or deny this (I don't even know what windbg is ;-), but > was there ever any other port of GDB which used MSVC? Both Cygwin and > MinGW obviously don't use it. Folk law has it that WinGDB was a Cygnus special version of GDB that was built using MSC and ran in a pure windows environment. I'm told (third hand) that building it was a pleasure and people queued for the privledge (not). Hmm, thinking about it, I'm pretty sure that none of the current batch of Red Hat / Cygnus GDB developers have ever seen WinGDB and would definitly not know how to build it (and even if they did, they would still deny it :-). Anyway, I like how, two years (almost to the day) that Stan committed: 1999-04-13 Stan Shebs * configure.tgt (arm-*-*): Whack another vestige of wingdb. we're still wacking out vestiges of wingdb :-) Andrew
