Hi,

Of course gdb53 will work fine with software single stepping.  The config d=
id=20
get it wrong without intervention. ./configure + make doesn't compile with=

gcc3.3.1 + current.

I think the most compelling argument you made was that gdb should know when=
=20
the breakpoints are set.  I agree with this, and hadn't thought about that=
=20
when I was considering how best to move forward.

Since some of the problems vs gcc3.3.1 are in /usr/src/gnu/dist/gdb, I gues=
s=20
I'll be sending them to you to  be fed back to  the FSF?

I'll back the PT_STEP change out some time over the weekend.
