I have many good reasons for not being up-to-date on gdb right now but that is how free software works, as you know. >I've gotten into a mood where if gdb-testers doesn't contain any recent >results for a platform, then I don't care too much if that platform >breaks.

Well, please get over your mood and adopt a more proactive approach if you want to be test suite maintainer. Don't be passive. *Ask* if you want test suite results. Cheesh. >Also please note that the decision to remove expect+dejagnu came from >the Gcc Summit and was announced by Ben Elliston, who's going to do the >actual removal on 2004-06-11, unless someone objects. And, the gcc mailing list has been removed from this discussion. Isn't that conveeenient? FWIW, I don't object. I don't care. When this goes away, I can continue to maintain the cygwin fork of expect/dejagnu until such time as "someone" steps forward to fix things. The sources aren't going to be physically deleted from src, so I can always access them. Of course, it would also be nice if bje checked on any changes needed for cygwin before pulling the plug. cgf
