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
