What was wrong with having GDB on all platforms > using the standard libiberty regex? It is like readline and bfd. While a distro can choose to mix 'n' match GDB in with a random regx and/or readline and/or bfd, I think GDB should, by default, link itself against the regx it was bundled with. After all, we know that the bundled regex works with GDB. enjoy, Andrew
