Was this intended for me? If so, I don't remember seeing it before. Please remember that I've fallen of the -devel list and can't get back on. Anyway, the deal for gdb and binutils is that I only have enough time to track H.J. Lu's versions. Since he hasn't released public versions of gdb-4.16 and binutils-2.7 yet, neither have I. However, if anyone out there is capable of handling these packages and devote more time to them, I will gladly give them up. They have actually been up for adoption for some time, I just haven't publicized it much. > If anyone is going to do this, please base it on > > ftp://ftp.cistron.nl/pub/people/miquels/debian/BETA/binutils-2.7-1.tar.gz > > This is the version I use on the Alpha.
