Subject:	Can gdb-4.9 work on PC

   Hi:
     I get gdb-4.9 from net and find that it supports go32. Does anyone know
   if it can work on PC ?
   I compiled gdb using cross-compiler with no error. I will test it later.

     Thanks

There are two types of gdb go32 support. 
	1) running gdb under DOS as a cross-debugger, talking over a
serial port to some imbedded system. (I *think* 4.9 has this support,
but I'm not sure.) This is referred to as "host" support.
	2) running gdb on a "real" system, cross-debugging DOS on the
serial port. This requires changes to go32 which I did for 1.07 but
haven't updated and weren't included in the gdb release. 

In neither case can gdb debug DOS/go32 processes on the *same* system.
Noone has ever done this work, though a few ideas have been suggested.
