Hi! We're currently working on improving SuperH support in Debian and Linux in general since the architecture is currently being redeveloped as an open source architecture called J-Core [1]. J-Core supports the SH-2 instruction set only, but it's expected to extend to SH-3 and SH-4 in the future. Hence, having working native SH support for gdb on Linux would be very desirable.

I have tried contacting Takashi YOSHII but so far I had no success. One that could help would be Nobuhiro Iwamatsu, so I put him in CC. There is also Yutaka Niibe whom we can ask.
