You can always cross-build to more targets. This is probably not very useful however unless the patch you are checking is to generic code. You can build and test with a toolchain enabled for all targets. ie: /configure --enable-targets=all --enable-64-bit-bfd > If not, what other tests are recommended ? Running the gold testsuite is generally a good idea, although in the particular case of your sframe patch series I doubt if this will show up any regressions. If you want to be really thorough then building gdb from the patched sources and then runnings its testsuite would also be wise. Just in case there is a problem with gdb's use of the BFD library.
