Actually, to avoid all confusion, I privately wrote Kip to say that I
was able to extract out his updated thread support and apply it to my
local mainline binutils tree.  That is a bit different than indicating
the work is in proper FreeBSD /usr/port patch form or canonical FSF
patch form. ;-)

I completely agree with the advantage listed.  However, overall, I
must disagree with you as one working on improving gcc3 both in
general and for FreeBSD.  I wouldn't disagree with you if the base gdb
in FreeBSD could debug the latest C++ and Dwarf output from gcc 3.
Either way, I concede that my gdb requirements are a special case...

Loren
