I don't know what the current plan is, but it should be within the next
two/three weeks if all goes well.

There should be another release by then; I think Andrew was hoping for
one mid-April and one in late September.  If you'd prefer to have the
x86-64 changes on the branch you're welcome to merge them; I was just
doing the bits I was confident in, and the x86-64 changes were too
large for someone who doesn't know anything about the port to merge
safely.  The gdbserver bits also need to bring in all the recent
changes to the tdep files.
