Woo, end of another era. Well, you don't see many Irix 4 or Mipsco
systems around anymore, and the only embedded users will be doing
r3000s of some flavor, so not much chance for user objections.
One of the heuristics I use for GDB obsolescence is to poke
around with Google. For instance, AMD used to have a page or two
mentioning the a29k, but now they strenuously deny they were ever
involved with it. :-) If the only references to ecoff are in
online GNU docs, then that's a hint that we're the last people
to support it...

I can't even remember the last time I heard of anyone interested
in that stuff.
