Hi Kevin,

Kevin, Franz, et.al,

Earlier this year, Metrowerks and I signed the copyright assignments
required by the FSF.  Beginning August 9, I will be starting work at
Cygnus as a GDB engineer.  One of the things that I'll work on is a
merge of my patches into the current gdb mainline.  It'll be my goal
to get a solid, usable gdb up and running on Linux/PPC again.

Congrats!  It is good to hear from you again!  We still miss you on the LinuxPPC
JDK porting team!  Care to rejoin?!? :-)

As for gdb, something changed seriously between Paul's 2.2.1 kernel running on
a R4.1 build (gdb was very very stable when debugging shared libs) and Paul's
2.2.10 kernel running LinuxPPC R5 or YDL.

Could you possibly try booting 2.2.1 on this R5 or YDL system?  I'd
like to isolate this from kernel or userland problem.

Dan
