This is everything I saw which has been added since the 6.6 branch
that I meant to add to NEWS. OK?
Someone should check over NEWS for 6.6, too; I think a few things were
missed, but it will be harder to pick them out now.

* The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now has lower overhead for high
frequency signals (e.g. SIGALRM) via the QPassSignals packet.
+* GDB for MIPS targets now autodetects whether a remote target provides
+32-bit or 64-bit register values.
+
+* New commands
+
+set mem inaccessible-by-default
+show mem inaccessible-by-default
+ If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
+ protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
+ prevents GDB from accessing memory outside the memory map. This
+ is useful for targets with memory mapped registers or which react
+ badly to accesses of unmapped address space.

+set breakpoint auto-hw
+show breakpoint auto-hw
+ If the target supplies a memory map, for instance via the remote
+ protocol's "qXfer:memory-map:read" packet, setting this variable
+ lets GDB use hardware breakpoints automatically for memory regions
+ where it can not use software breakpoints. This covers both the
+ "break" command and internal breakpoints used for other commands
+ including "next" and "finish".
