[commit/6.2] Mention mips-irix broken; Re: GDB 6.2 branch frozen
I've committed the attached (this sort of late breaking news is exactly
what PROBLEMS is for :-)

Once the BFD patch is applied, what's next to fail?
I think the next biggie is the unwinder. But there is also the problem
with floats that cause GDB to SEGV. The last one is on my plate, but
the patch could still be applied as is. It might not be perfect (we
need to check) but at least it prevents the crash.
