ARM Linux port...

[Scott Bambrough]

Hi,

I've been working on the ARM Linux port of GDB 4.18 for the NetWinder lately.  I
have reached the point where all the mechanics are satisfied.  (ie: I have host,
target and native files, it configures etc).  I can now concentrate on what is
required for the actual port.

The last time I did this (for 4.17 a year ago), I split the existing ARM files
into two parts.  One was common code for both the linux and riscix targets, and
the other specific to riscix.  I then added files specific to ARM linux complete
my port.  I would like to do the same again, (there is no point reinventing the
wheel) and will do so if there are no objections.  I'm not sure who maintains
this code, (someone has as it has changed since 4.17), but if they could contact
me perhaps we could work together to make such a move as painless as possible.

At the same time, I prefer writing ANSI style C, and there have been discussions
about moving the GDB code to this style.  Should I make this stylistic change,
and submit my patches?  I don't want to be in the position where I have my
changes rejected for stylistic reasons.
