Maybe you'll find someone here willing to volunteer to do that work for you, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The info should be retrievable from the mailing list archives, from the ChangeLog files in the source tree, and from CVS/git history. > Pedro> You could also try a current/recent pristine FSF/GNU GDB. > Pedro> We're about to release 7.6. > > Ok, I'll give 7.5.1 a try in the next days. Try mainline and 7.6 too. The later is in the gdb_7_6-branch branch at git://sourceware.org/git/gdb.git . The former is "master". Lots of changes between 7.5 and 7.6. Even if you don't want to use those versions, they could hold a fix already, and you could then backport instead of wasting time fixing it again. -- Pedro Alves
