Yep -- we're seeing those kinds of gdb-compile issues with the newer
compilers on other processors as well. I'm going to create a
"gdb-6.1.patch" in the top-level directory, create a stanza for its
application in the Makefile, and invoke it during the initial build.
I wish I had done that years ago for the handful of gdb files that
are modified, instead of keeping their changes in CVS, but I'll
just keep updating a per-gdb-release patch file in place from now on.
Nice to hear somebody's still using alphas...
Thanks,
Dave
