I was also thinking of gcc/gdb (and of course ironing out bugs in the
various ports, i.e. Cygwin, mingw, Interix); my impression was that what
was "done" (at least when I heard) was just binutils and gcc/gdb would
be the next steps. Maybe I'm wrong?
Anyway, we are certainly in agreement that Bill's main effort should be
to test/improve what is already done rather than re-invent the wheel.
Thanks for the link (and for reminding me where I saw this). :-)
