Re: Patch changelog entries for tic54x patches


I have some Windows-related comments about these changes.

I think that this has been discussed before and I don't remember a
consensus that this was the correct thing to do.  Won't this affect
gdb on Windows?  It may affect it in a good way, but I'd like to
be sure.

This one is also something that has been discussed.  If it is agreed that
an option should be added for this, then we should try to make sure that
it is consistent over all of the tools.

Personally, I'd prefer giving a user a small program to provide this
functionality.

If nothing else, shouldn't these patches be broken out separately?  They
don't seem to be part of the main focus of your changes and probably should
be addressed separately from them.
