Hi!
At opencores (www.opencores.org) we have a gdb-5.0 port to our or1k
architecture.
We would like to join our sources into official version.
Your current BFD already has needed or32 support.
I have seen, that gdb went thought many internal changes, like regcache, etc.
I've looked at documentation, and it is outdated. Although there are promising
mails, like below one ;), there is not enough info for me to break through.
The current documentation is being updated (slowly). Also see the thread:
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2002-07/msg00202.html
but unless your architecture is really wierd, nothing should be needed.
As for your architecture the main things are:
- getting it to strictly use the multi-arch framework (the exception
being if your platform has shared libraries)
- getting it to comply to gnu (and GDB) coding standards
- FSF paperwork
Otherwize it should drop in. Take a look at one of the very recent
targets (xstormy16?).

Richard what follows is the short obscure answer (sorry). I'll try to
do the long (add to documentation answer, in about a week - this really
does need to be documented.

I would like to ask you, if anybody is willing to help me update our current
version of gdb or at least take a quick look at it and tell me how things
should work not.
