So my question is - what should we do about all these? Are some of these intrinsically impossible to complete without the right collection of hardware? If so, then maybe we need to get tougher about dropping support for some targets, or else abandon the projected change. I'd like to work on updating the GDB internals manual too, for my own understanding if nothing else; should I describe old ways, new ways, or both? Stan
