I was thinking that myself. I noticed that the store_inferior_registers() and fetch_inferior_registers() functions I wrote for low-nbsd.c are almost exactly the same as those in i386b-nat.c, m68knbsd-nat.c, etc. Even so, there is still quite a bit of difference between the functions in *-nat.c and low-*.c. There will have to be a bit of thought and cleverness put into spliting things apart, otherwise gdbserver would inherit code that it doesn't use. And that sort of defeats the purpose of a thin debug layer that gdbserver provides. --jtc -- J.T. Conklin RedBack Networks
