[5.3] What's the hold up?

[Andrew Cagney]

If you search the bug data base for high GDB PR's you'll see:

PR Category State Priority Responsible Synopsis
378 gdb suspended high unassigned ``GNU/Linux'' ``Linux kernel''
394 gdb suspended high unassigned GDB 5.1.1 contains intl/ droppings
527 gdb suspended high unassigned GDB 5.2 incompatibilities with GNU 
textutils 2.0.21 in POSIX mode
676 gdb analyzed high unassigned Alpha OSF1, gcc, internal GDB error in 
mdebugread
708 gdb open high unassigned Can't build 5.3 branch (and probably trunk).
725 gdb open high unassigned Crash using debug target and regcaches (in 
5.3 branch?)
763 gdb open high unassigned gdb 5.2 removes the conditional breakpoints
840 gdb suspended high unassigned Expect on GDB 5.3 branch doesn't build 
on IRIX 6.5

It is these (actually the non-suspended ones) that I'm trying to get 
flushed.

Of most concern are 708 and 676.  They both indicate something failing the:

	./configure
	make
	./gdb/gdb ./gdb/gdb
	(gdb) b main
	(gdb) run

release criteria :-(
