The GDB method (port x86-foo uses deprecated_something, you want to add port x86-bar which is the same as x86-foo in this regard, but you can't add new uses of deprecated_* and there are no suitable examples using the non-deprecated equivalent to follow) is rather unfriendly to occasional contributors. (This isn't helped by the state of the GDB internals manual; the GCC one is rather better.) -- Joseph S. Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]
