What we mean is that we we will not be including these patches in the GDB 9.1 release. So you can pre-test this pre-release. At this point, we no longer have any issue that's been identified as being release blocking (famous last words, as this is the point when problems start show up). One thing I'd like to suggest is if you could do a first pre-check when I announce that the branch creation is a few days away. If you find something sufficiently bad, this would be grounds for me to either hold the branch creation, or else hold the creation of the pre-release. I don't who else could help with that, because I don't anyone but you building GDB with the configuration that you use -- I know we build a MinGW version of GDB on Windows, but we use MinGW64 and do not see the issues that you have been reporting in the past -- so aside from you, I don't know who else can do it. -- Joel
