I have been looking at obsoleting the cfront support that was added in
1996 to gdb.
The code spans the following files:
buildsym.c
dbxread.c
gdbtypes.c
mdebugread.c
stabsread.c
xcoffread.c
stabsread.h
I am preparing a patch to obsolete the code.
It will be pulled after the next version of gdb goes out, as usual.
Does this impact anybody? I woudln't think so, since part of that
code, I discovered, was already ifdef'ed out...

When you say `already ifdef'ed out...', how ifdef'd out? Was it
disabled to the point where it couldn't work? If it was (and there has
been an intervening GDB release) then I think the code can simply go.

in gdbtypes.c, cfront_mangle_name() is #if 0:
Thu Jul 25 19:41:31 1996 Fred Fish <fnf@cygnus.com>
* gdbtypes.c (cfront_mangle_name): #ifdef out unused function.
But at a deeper look, I don't know if this qualifies, apparently it
was already unused to start with.
