Based on the submission thread on the GDB mailing list <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00490.html>, it seems that the patch is unusable in its current state:
* Hector Oron <[email protected]> (the Debian maintainer for gdb) noted that it didn't actually build for him <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00491.html> * Joel Brobecker <[email protected]> noted that tried to include target headers from sh-tdep.h, which doesn't work in -tdep.h files: these files need to build on *any* host, regardless of CPU architecture and operating system. An example of how this is a problem even in Debian: these headers presumably don't even exist on kfreebsd. <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00501.html> * Tom Tromey <[email protected]> pointed out that any significant contributors would need to sign copyright assignment papers, since the patch is far from trivial. Otherwise, GNU won't merge it, and it will bitrot constantly. <http://www.cygwin.com/ml/gdb-patches/2011-11/msg00499.html> -- Hi! I'm a .signature virus!
