I have already enhanced gdb-4.2 for multi-threading, cross debugging  
using SUN's rpc (sparc->386). I also included patches from Peter Schauer
(regent.e-technik.tu-muenchen.de (many thanks again)) to make gdb-4.2
demangle Cfront  2.x C++. All this worked fine for MIX V3.2 (SCO unix
binary compatibilty) => thanks for nice gdb software.

Now I have to face a problem : I must do the same kind of work for
a MIX SVR4.0. Thus I need a gdb that support ELF and /proc interface.
=>I choose to start with gdb-4.5. I looked at the files I modified in
gdb-4.2 and will be able to reincorporate multi-threading and 
remote cross debugging but *NOT* Cfront demangling (too many changes, 
only applied patchs without trying to fully understand them, routines
have disappeared other where created). 

I wonder I someone has already done this kind of work for gdb-4.(5/6).

NB : If someone answers I would like to know for which Cfront version
it was because someone told me that Cfront 3.x name mangling differs
from 2.x

Any help appreciated,

Regards,
