I haven't asked, but it's a supported feature of dejagnu and I'm willing to accept that they will keep on supporting it. Dan Kegel is at least one user of dejagnu who uses build != host with gcc. He wrote a whole section in his cross-gcc faq about it. People are testing gcc with dejagnu using build != host, so it would be good if gdb testing worked in the same environment. ac> As for a system that would/should use this - djgpp. You got me there. It's been a while since I used windows, but I suspect that windows has telnet/ftp servers. Eli, is it possible to ftp into a windows box and upload and download files? More important, is it possible to telnet into a windows box and run a command-line interpreter? It looks like I should go with Plan B: file PR's against the test scripts that don't work on build != host, and eventually fix them. Michael C
