Archive-name: auto/gnu.announce/gdb-4-7-is-available

Today we released gdb version 4.7.  This release makes cross-debugging
work from many more hosts, adds embedded SPARC debugging, and includes
preliminary 386 (BSD and SCO) Unix support.  We improved cfront support
and fixed calls to methods.  Symbol lookup, MIPS stepping, and remote
serial stepping are much faster.  A preliminary manual for the `stabs'
debug info format is included.  And, of course, we fixed many bugs.

Note: G++ symbol mangling problem -
Recent versions of gcc have a bug in how they emit debugging
information for C++ methods (when using dbx-style stabs).  The usual
symptom is difficulty with setting breakpoints on methods.  GDB
complains about the method being nonexistent.  (Version 2.2.2 of GCC
has this problem.)  If you think that you are experiencing this
problem, look at the instructions in `gdb/NEWS'.

These improvements were made with the help of Jim Blandy, Per Bothner,
Steve Chamberlain, Howard Chu, Mark Eichin, John M. Farrell, Fred Fish,
John Gilmore, Stu Grossman, D. V. Henkel-Wallace, Andrew Heybey,
Brendan Kehoe, Roland McGrath, Julia Menapace, Nelson Minar, Dave
Morrison, Roland H. Pesch, K. Richard Pixley, Ken Raeburn, Peter
Schauer, Colin Smith, Richard Stallman, Jonathan Stone, Ian Lance
Taylor, Michael Werner, Jim Wilson, Wind River Systems, David D. `zoo'
Zuhn, and many, many others.  Thanks everybody!

Keep those fixes and improvements coming in!
