I'm being careful not to overpromise because there has been some unfortunate history (an euphemism for past interactions now described by all sides with unprintable words :-) ) in connection with Apple and GDB. Much of my work now is just in reading all the code and figuring out where things are even at - although it would have been truly studly to keep up on all the GDB doings while hacking on GCC, in actuality I've run into my brain limits and GCC bits have displaced much of my old GDB knowledge. :-( Stan
