Last I knew the GNU notion was to worry about "mainstream" kernels, which means vanilla released Linux 2.4.x and bleeding edge Linux 2.5.x (which changes its interfaces incompatibly between x's, since it's an experimental development version). > Roland, > > You can't seriously suggest that GDB should intentionally allow itself > to remain broken on very mainstream and released GNU/Linux systems (such > as Red Hat 9). > > Andrew Actually, I was saying that I wouldn't be arguing for code considered ugly (and that is just my impression of how Mark's opinion was charcterized from what I saw being said, not anything to be taken as meaning anything) to be in mainline gdb for the support RHL-modified kernels versions. I didn't say I would argue against it, either. That's up to the people who have gdb hats not made of flash paper like mine is. > I'd rather support it.

I'm glad to hear that other people want to.
