I've actually spent this week porting the gdb CVS head to MIPS; I've got it almost entirely working now. There's one problem with SIGTRAP that I haven't quite figured out yet, and thread attach isn't quite working, and there's a kernel bug I've been repeatedly triggering that I think I just fixed. I anticipate it all being done in a couple of days - I'll post here and on the GDB list when I have it in slightly better shape. -- Daniel Jacobowitz Debian GNU/Linux Developer Monta Vista Software Debian Security Team
