unfortunately it still isn't working, I think here is what happened
http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=gdb.git;a=commitdiff;h=d1ea5a6d98
from this email (about the win32-termcap.c -> windows-termcap.c rename)
http://sourceware.org/ml/archer/2009-q1/msg00349.html
If archer.git was cloned using --reference or --shared pointing to the
gdb.git repository the archer.git
repository is probably referencing that commit which is no longer
contained in the gdb.git
also, gdb.git currently is missing the windows-termcap.c file, so
wouldn't build on windows
(so we need to make sure the releases are made from cvs not git atm,
just mention this since Joel mentions he's been using git).
