I would like to point out that the sparc port works quite well
for embedded (o/s unaware) 32-bit targets, at least up to gdb-5.3 .
There are some (minor) quirks with stack unwinding to form the
function backtrace, but overall it makes a good job. If you make
a new (64-bit) backend, could the old 32-bit backend remain, at
least the O/S independent parts?
Thanks, Jiri Gaisler.
