  I think this is good news generally speaking, unfortunately that straight
forward for me: I insist on using and testing the toolchain on GNU/Linux
platform (Debian). I hope to have something useful for other people soon.
For the moment I'm interested in the packaging aspects of the toolchain.

  Anyway, thanks for the effort.

  I think you mentioned this some little time ago. I believe I know the
ropes about this patch. I'll eventually try to port it to binutils 2.18
which I think it's the latest released version.

  But this is quite interesting. I'm now focusing on gdb. I see that
gdb-5.1.1 code/patch is latest up-to-date available in CVS. I was very
interested in running a more recent version of gdb, latest released if
possible.

  Are the patches needed to use at least gdb 6.7.1 available anywhere? It
would be easier for me to port gdb 6.7.1 patches to the latest gdb version
than porting from gdb 5.1.1.

  I guess not much advantage in hardware access (i.e.: programming,
debugging) in GNU/Linux can be taken from that, right?
