Hi,

GDB for Android:
* Submitted and committed trivial patch to gdbserver which made it
  compile again on Android. A patch had been added which made gdbserver
  use a MIPS-related constant which Android doesn't provide.
* Compared testsuite results of GDB on Android vs regular Linux.
  Unfortunately there's a lot of noise because the GCC 4.4 used by
  the Android SDK generates bad debuginfo which confuses GDB and breaks
  a lot of tests. Overall, it seems GDB on Android is in a generally
good
  shape. Still need to run the testsuite again with an Android based on
  a newer compiler to have a better comparison.
* Mozilla has a GDB patch to call gdbarch_addr_bits_remove before
  comparing PCs in breakpoint handling which seems like a sensible thing
  to do. Still, running the testsuite with and without this patch didn't
  make a difference on Android or regular Linux.
* Remotely attended the GDB for Android session at Connect. Prepared
  the following page to go with it:
