I meant limitations such as =1B$B!H=1B(Bnative only=1B$B!I=1B(B.

Ok. I would not expect that to be documented in NEWS, but it seems like it= should be in gdb.texinfo or some similar spot. I have a whole pile of cro= ss-compilers in various places; I would need to understand what the algorit= hm looks like to be able to ensure that the correct one is found.=20=20 paul
