Hi. I removed 17821, 17799, 17798 and 17681. I'm just not going to get time to finish them right now. They weren't super important though. OTOH, I just found a bug that I'd like to make a blocker for 7.9. I'm adding support for Two Level Linetables: http://wiki.dwarfstd.org/index.php?title=TwoLevelLineTables and when I run gdb on programs compiled with this support gdb goes into an infinite loop. :-( There are actually two bugs here: 17890: gdb needs to punt when it sees a dwarf line table header version it doesn't understand 17891: how is SIGFPE handling supposed to work? currently gdb goes into an infinite loop I don't have a strong opinion on getting 17891 fixed for 7.9, but I would like 7.9 to not hang when given tll-enabled binaries. The fix is safe and easy enough.
