Yes, it did send back my reports, but nothing else.

I can probably fix PR 1957 myself, I'd like to get familiar with the
simulator.  The thing is that I'd like to extend GDB's ARM simulator
so that I can get it to report the number of cycles spent in some
program.  This could be used for simple benchmarking (to detect
regression over time).

I wonder if such an extension would be a big task?  I'm not familiar
with GDB's code at all.

BR,
Janne
