This doesn't include the watchpoint-related patches I sent beginning
with August or September, and mentioned them again three weeks ago.
Here again are the pointers to the relevant messages:

I don't think this is needed anymore, since Ian merged in some of my
changes and the rest are solved by upgrading to a later libtool.  (I
still have some unprocessed Binutils patches, but they are not
important for GDB, since they are in the applications, like ld and ar,
not in the libraries.)

But there's a similar issue with Readline.  The current version in the
GDB CVS tree has bugs in the DJGPP-specific code, one of which simply
prevents GDB from linking.  I see that most of these problems are
solved in the current beta version of Readline, but will you be
synchronizing the GDB tree with that version before release?  If not,
I don't see any solution but a local patch.  Please advise.
