During the s390 merge I noticed that the x86-64 hasn't been mentioned in
the NEWS file. I'm also wondering how clean this new target is. If it
is a drop in (like s390) then it may be worth dropping it into the 5.1
branch.

During the s390 merge I noticed that the x86-64 hasn't been mentioned in
the NEWS file.
There's a reason for that: there are still some bits missing. Jiri
posted the bits and JimB is reviewing them.
I'm also wondering how clean this new target is. If it is a drop
in (like s390) then it may be worth dropping it into the 5.1
branch.
Let's *not* delay the 5.1 release for this. We really should try to
get GDB 5.1 out of the door soon. We can always drop the x86-64 stuff
into the 5.1 branch after the 5.1 release.

I'm not going to delay it for that. However, the rule that applied to
s390 applies to x86-64. If it can be plonked onto the 5.1 branch it can
be plonked onto the 5.1 branch.

For the correct work of this target the dwarf2 call frame information must be
used for stack unwinding. I have already sent the necessary patch and asked
for approval. Without it the target vector is unusable.

Hmm, if it depends on that then it probably should skip 5.1.
