Good idea. FWIW, I didn't think this would affect MIPS in any way, given that I couldn't find a single bug report for any of these targets in bugzilla. I don't mean open bugs, I mean, any, ever, other than build failure issues. I don't recall anyone mentioning anything related to these targets on the gdb or gdb-patches lists, ever, either. It seems like google searches for these targets only hit the gdb documentation, and my suggestion to remove them on the gdb@ list [1]. :-) Also, I thought of MIPS's earlier focus on MDI, and knowing that even that one was pushed out of tree years ago, my thinking was that the risk of this affecting anyone in practice approximates zero.
