Hi Jim,

Thanks for your detailed explanation! I still have some questions.

If we won't open simulator source, can we put simulator libs(11 libs) and 
simstub.c in the dir 'gdb-6.5/sim/score'?
If we can, i will send you these libs. 
Otherwise, i post the patch in the following just containing 'score' gdb 
but without simulator.

I diff gdb-6.5 gdb-6.5-score in the top-level and the result is the 
following. 
Thanks for checking my patch and i hope to hear your advice on 
score-tdep.c.
