The patch to move gdbsupport is here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-07/msg00337.html Review here: https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2019-08/msg00433.html Maybe some comments there still need to be addressed. I can't recall offhand. Then comes the patch to move gdbserver. This is pretty much mechanical, I think. Finally comes a patch to make gdbserver use the top-level gnulib and gdbsupport. This is mildly tricky due to type mismatches. I've written all of these but they definitely need rebasing (which is often nearly equivalent to rewriting them) and probably other tweaks as well. I wouldn't recommend this for gdb 9, but it does seem like a good idea to start on these now, so that we have time to iron out the bugs. Tom
