Ah, yes ;-) Yeah, but there are still some *structural* problems with rs6000/powerpc; it's a bit of maze of twisted if's instead of clearly seperated OSABI's. A larche chunk of that poo is related to the old POWER ABI; that could sure use some polishing by a loving soul. What would be immediatly helpful is for more people to expose GDB to GCC 4 so that all the other problems above and beyond gdb_byte can be identified and fixed. Yup, but GCC got a bit bloated and takes a long time too compile on my poor old boxes. Mark
