My suggestion is _that_ is what is odd. So now I'm just being clear that we are in agreement ;) The other part of the "funkiness" was while I was reading through 300-gdb.sh, I can see parts of it that need updating. So fixing 300-gdb.sh to build expat and gdb for cross_gdb might be a little more work. -Bryan -- For unsubscribe information see http://sourceware.org/lists.html#faq
