I see that the latest gdb has the openbsd support for hppa integrated,
are we planning to upgrade the in-tree version of gdb anytime soon?
it would be a lot easier start from the openbsd stuff in that version
than to try to backport it to 5.3.

similarly, are we looking to integrate a more recent gcc anytime soon?
I noticed that hp700 kernels built with various of the debugging
options are a couple orders of magnitude slower that without those options,
which is a much bigger difference than on other platforms.  I tried to
build a profiling kernel to see where that was coming from, but gcc gets
an internal error.  I'm hoping that this is fixed in a more recent version.
in case anyone's curious, the error is:
