It possible for the tdep file to just slip into place - the problematic interfaces have all now largely been clearly identified. The remote stuff could get a few red flags - with the architecture vector largely overhauled the remote stuff could find itself needing core changes. > The trunk has moved on considerably sinse the last major release and I need > some of the new features such as reg groups (several hundred registers). > > If there is a concern then I would be happy if a tempory branch of the gdb > directory was created to work on for the next few weeks prior to merging to > the trunk, however as you say, the worst that can happen is that the ip2k > port doesn't work. I think you'll want to always work on the head. Once the file is mostly ok, it can be added to the mainline. The configuration changes can be added later. > I would appreciate your help and time to make this work. Post stuff here and someone should be able to help. Andrew
