In my opinion anyone who really wants to make new features in GDB
available should download the complete original sources. The file patches.418
should help to see the changes I did. It would be really hard to include
all the missed source files in a separate zip since the first task will be
to filter out all the files from gdb418s.zip (I have renamed some files to
fit the 8+3 namings!) and then I need to make all the other filenames
8+3 unique and valid which I haven't the time for. And, should it include
then really all the files which are in gdb-4.18.tar.gz and not in gdb418s.zip
(including all the *.info*, *.dvi, *.ps and so on) or should I filter there out
again some files and then will come again a user and wants to have also
those files in a sepaarte zip and so on ...
