GDB 14 branching & release -- 2023-09-16 update

[Joel Brobecker]

Hi everyone,

My sincere apologies for the long period of radio silence since
the last update. It's been a busy summer :-/.

Here is a quick status of what has been discussed so far. In short,
we're down to one PR for AArch64, which has been progress (new patch
series posted a few days ago). Are there other issues that we should
fix before we branch?

Otherwise, let's branch soon :-).

More detailed update:

--------------------------------

 * [JohnB] Handle variable XSAVE layouts

   (v2) https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-July/200962.html

I'd like to get 2 DAP series in, if possible.

1. https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-September/202123.html

This series is waiting for an assignment.
I think it is in progress.

2. https://sourceware.org/pipermail/gdb-patches/2023-September/202169.html

I plan to check this in sometime this week, unless there are comments.


My goal here is to make the first release with DAP support relatively
full-featured.

I have now sent v7/v5 of SME1/SME2, so I'm expecting some closure for this one soon.

Thanks for keeping track of the release.
