It is happening to multiple people.  It also happened to Johan Vermeire
as well (PR gdb/915).  Johan also got stuck because his MS Win2K + IE
6.0 browser couldn't file a bug report, and then nobody looked at his
mail to gdb-bug@gnu.org.

Preventing PR's with better doco is a good thing, both for the users
and for us.

Better doco will help our direct users, and then our channel partners,
partners, the cross-gcc FAQ people, can uptake our new doco or refer to
it in their doco.  That part won't happen overnight.  The most recent
cross-gcc FAQ I've seen is from 1999!

(Honestly, I think gdb could benefit from lots of re-engineering for
our customer-facing business processes, I'm reading a Patricia Seybold
book and all this goobledygook actually does apply to the gdb project,
in my mind at least).

So I'll write that doco and submit it soon.
