Ok, I questioned mingw, why they did not assigned those patches to the
FSF. But on the otherhand, I would do this work (I need to make an other
FSF assignement for gdb), if I get some advice. Until now, I haven't
worked with gdb sources, so the architecture is a bit strange for me. Is
there a good documentation about the subject how to add an new target
(TUI) ?
