Hi Adhemerval,

FAOD, are you planning to merge this feature into linaro's 2.25 or 2.24 branch?

My [very light] preference is to merge it to 2.25, but not 2.24.

Thanks,

Do we need it to 2.24? Is this patch preventing current kernel builds for older
binutils releases?

Current kernels are fine without it.  My work on kernel tinification 
requires it though.  Depending on when this work will be ready for wider 
consumption, it would be nice if our binutils already carried the 
necessary support.

I don't know what the 2.24 vs 2.25 release timeline is, but if 2.25 is 
released, say, before next Connect then it should be good enough.

 It is commit 451133cefa upstream.

 Please consider merging for the next toolchain release.  I don't expect 
 major conflicts if any.

Binutils 2.24 was officially released 2013/12 and Binutils 2.25 at 2014/12.
Current distros uses versions from 2.23 (RHEL7/CentOS7), 2.24 (Ubuntu 14),
or 2.25 (Debian Jessie) and I think next Linaro toolchain will use 2.25.
I would prefer to focus on 2.25, since 2.24 is reaching two years old, however
since this modification seems to be very constrained, I do not see much work
being required to backport to 2.24.

Well... All I really care about is for this patch to be available in 
next Linaro toolchain release, or next month's.  The actual version 
number is immaterial to me.

windows binary builds with gdb-python enabled?

[duane]

It seems the prebuilt windows releases of GDB do not enable Python.

Are there plans to release a python-enabled-gdb in the windows builds?

If not, what are the roadblocks to this?

Thanks
