The situtation we have here is identical to that we encountered when we first made it a requirement that not just new architectures, but also extensions to exsting architectures, had to be multi-arch. We set the standard and then helped developers exceed it.

Our only mistake was to "blink" when it came to the solib problem. We've been "blinking" for too many years now.

So should I just commit the attached to get things moving?

If it was committed after 2004-09-13, sure. Oh, it wasn't.


IMHO, getting the solib h thingy fixed simply isn't top priority.
There are more important issues in GDB that deserve my attention.

Scaring away contributors by making unreasonable demands isn't a
sensible thing to do.

Our situtation here is identical to what we encountered with basic multi-arch, the frame code, the regcace code, the function call code. There, with our help and co-operation, people not just stepped up to, but also exceeded the challenge.
