Just a heads-up, but I found out yesterday, that this commit:

2007-07-01  Daniel Jacobowitz  <dan@codesourcery.com>

        PR symtab/2161
        * target.c (memory_xfer_partial): Do not continue past targets with
        all memory.

broke debugging threaded programs on OpenBSD.  I think I know why, but
I haven't actually fixed it yet.  I'd like to make sure this is fixed
before we make the release (but I can fix it on the branch if
necessary).

There also is a recently introduced problem with building opcodes
using BSD make.  I have a solution for it, but not mailed out the diff
yet.
