New patches to port gdb to MIPS-based machines (including
DECstations and SGI Iris) are now available by
anonymous ftp from sevenlayer.cs.wisc.edu (128.105.8.11)
in pub/mips-gdb-3.5-diffs.Z. Uncompress this file, and
then use patch applied to a virgin gdb-3.5 distibution.

The changes are minor, so don't bother if you already
have gdb running. The main differences are better support
for Ultrix 4.0, as well as support for SGI Iris core files
(thanks to David B.Anderson (davea@sgi.com)). (Also, this
time I remembered to give the -c option to diff!)

The gdb port uses native ECOFF object file format,
which is emitted by cc, gcc, and g++. Unfortunately,
ECOFF doesn't really support g++, so gdb won't be very
useful for g++ programs.

Gdb 4.0 will have mips support bundled in. Version 4.0
is being actively worked on, but needs major cleaning
up before it can be released.
