WDB: More recent (People use GDB 5.0 + uncontributed patches) GDB still includes RDB. Looking over WindRiver's web site, I can't even find VxWorks 5.3. I'm guessing that it was released sometime in the '90s? Consequently, I can't see any good reason for retaining this software and intend obsoleting it in a week. I last proposed this a year ago: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2003-05/msg00029.html and since then the code has only gotten worse. Andrew
