Agreed, that's my thinking too. For still-fresh examples, the software single-step rework work had me stop, think and actually write patches for IRIX (deprecated_insert_raw_breakpoint). And then just last week I failed to notice some code was for Tru64 and wasted time writing this patch: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-10/msg00035.html Thanks, Pedro Alves
