I can sympathise. I've tried on a couple of occasions to update the ARM
target to use the new interfaces and I've repeatedly run into situations
where the GDB's abstraction model is just not obvious from staring at the
code.
Andrew, I think we really need a 10,000 ft view document on gdb's internal
architecture to complement the list of macros that a target can define...
