I would like to use them to backport to GDB > 6.1. All the patches have been posted, and the composite can be found in the repository. However, there isn't an individual patch available. I should note that some of the changes are to GDB's core (in particular infrun.c and frame*[hc]). Such changes aren't going to be considered for 6.1.1. > It fixes backtracing from signal handler.

There might be one or two small patches that can be backported, nowever, for the most part I think it is better to just concentrate on 6.2 currently scheduled for August. Andrew
