Did you mean to write there 7.7?  Otherwise for example the import of IPv6
getaddrinfo is still blocked.


I failed to build (make failed to find how to build file "-lz") GDB even on
AIX - on gcc111.fsffrance.org - which should be a supported OS (by you
coincidentally) so I have doubts GDB is buildable on OSes no one even tests.
