[PING][PING] Added x86_64 stub for debugging embedded systems running on Intel x86_64 processor architecture.

[Battig, Caleb]

Hi Simon,

I filled out the form you referenced and sent it to assign@gnu.org. I haven't heard anything back from them though, even after I have repeatedly sent reminder emails. I really don't care who has the rights to this software; I just want it to be available for developers to use. Can we move forward with my submission now please?

Thanks,

The problem isn't really reviewers (although I'd appreciate if anybody
who knows the low-level x86-64 bits could take a second look).

I sent an inquiriy to the FSF regarding the licensing, I got a response
that they'll take a look soon.  I'll let you know when I have an answer.
These stubs are licensed "public domain", with no copyright claim, so it
is a bit out of the ordinary for us.  I prefer asking to make sure we do
the right thing.

In any case, you will likely have to file a copyright assignment with
the FSF, where you accept to transfer the copyright on the contributed
code to the FSF.  It would be a good idea to get that started right now,
since it can take a bit of time for them to process it.  This is the
form you need to complete and send them:
