Check the log file for details (config.log).

I am starting the import of readline 4.1. I don't know if while I am
doing this the repository will be in an inconsistent state or not, but
just in case....

I'll send a note when I am done.

Thanks

Aborted.
I spoke too early. Turns out that the vendor branch was a little
messed up.  I just imported readline 4.0, I will import 4.1 tomorrow
when I will get a meaningful 3 way merge.

If this doesn't mean anything to you, don't worry.
I will send mail out over the weekend about the import again.

Hi,

I'm using gdb 5.0 to debug an os kernel running on an i386 simulator
called bochs. The bochs remote stub supports hardware breakpoints but
instead of sending a request, gdb tries to set breakpoints as if the
program was running locally. I'd like to fix this, my initial idea was
that i386_insert_watchpoint should check if the current target is a remote
one and call remote_insert_watchpoint. Is this the right approach? 

TIA,
David Welch
