--text follows this line-- 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. -- --Per Bothner bothner@cs.wisc.edu Computer Sciences Dept, U. of Wisconsin-Madison
