Only a hint: latest versions of binutils (dayly!! updated) can be downloaded from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/private/gas/ and lates gdb versions (not so often updated) from ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/private/gdb/ and this is (at least for me) a nearly fast connection (with my ISDN connection about 7K/s). > but I have started working on that anyway.

I have Since I sent already all the configuration patches in the used GNU style to the maintainer. :-) > GDB on the other hand appears to be totally broken (as reported > by somebody else). I mean totally. Not ever an option Since nobody has ever sent some patches to the maintainers. (including me :-( ). But now (see my other post) I made them similar to the binutils configuration, and if some will find the time to send them to the gdb maintainer, it will be available also in the next versions. > Last, is go32 used by anything besides djgpp?

I know also about that rtems-go32 target by name, but I really don't know, what it is. So I simply ignored it and made all DJGPP specific changes in the ix86-pc-djgppmsdos target and in the code I used ever the __DJGPP__ symbol.
