FWIW, there is a mailing list (gdb-testers@) and a test results web-page 
(http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gdb.cgi) but both don't exactly 
appear active.

Anyway, it's been suggested that the GDB release announcement should 
mention the systems that GDB is known to build on.

Should something be included at the top of the NEWS file?

Thoughts?
