Geoff,

I don't know that pulling Jimmy's dejagnu patch was the best thing to
do.  In a way it is like me pulling a G++ patch just because it has (yet
again :-) broken the GDB/C++ testsuites.  If I did that I'd be
(understandably) hounded out of town by the GCC team :-(.  Instead, what
one would hope would happen is  that the groups try to co-operate and
resolve problems as soon as they are found.  If the GDB team find
problems they push patches back to GCC.

For DEJAGNU, checking that a change regresses none of GDB, GCC or
BINUTILS would be a good thing (tm).  However, as things currently
stand, this not straight forward.  Instead we are reliant on people,
such as yourself, identifying problems and reporting them so that they
can be fixed (and not reverted :-).

	enjoy,
		Andrew
