This isn't a bug report, but I'm hoping that it will reach the right
people.  I have a need for gdb on a Sequent Symmetry (a 386 mp)
running Dynix, a BSD derived system.

I've made many of the necessary modifications to the i386 configuration
files, but am now down to the nitty-gritty stuff in dep.c, and I'm not
enough of a 386 or BSD expert to know what really needs to be done -
some of the register names aren't in the corresponding Sequent BSD
and i386 header files, and I know very little about the calling
sequence and stack frames produced by the Sequent compiler, i.e.
how to appropriately modify the USG-style existing 386 code.

Since I really don't have the time to figure all of this out, I'm curious
if anyone else with more expertise in this area is either already working
on the problem or interested in getting involved.  Thanks...

John
