Hi,

I don't have any comments on Fred's test results. But I tried using gdb 
6.1 to debug Solaris SPARC, 32 and 64 bit Sun cc compiled target 
programs and found it close to unusable. (I didn't try gcc targets.)

I am working on the gdb source code and have a couple of preliminary 
fixes for the most urgent problems. After finishing the FSF copyleft 
formalities I will send them to gdb-patches and hope to get them accepted.

My private version of gdb is stable enough to debug Sun cc compiled 32 
and 64 bit targets. But my list of open issues is still growing. If 
somebody needs something urgently I am willing to send a patch file.

Michael
