J.T., A ramble,
As an unofficial guideline, I'd be most worried about the targets I've
listed as buildable in the MAINTAINERS file. If there is a target that
is known to not build then I personally think it is questionable to
expect you to get your changes right for that target.
As an example the SOFTWARE_SINGLE_STEP patch builds for all the targets
listed in MAINTAINERS (it is how I found the sparc64 problem - just got
to test it). As for other targets, I _think_ I got things right.
However, like everyone else, I'm only human and so may well have got
something wrong :-/
In the future, this problem - being able to reliably make global changes
- is likely to become more of an issue. We don't want to let GDB's
development get bogged down because people fear the consequences of
making even simple mechanical changes. Things like -Werror and listing
buildable targets in MAINTAINERS are all part of my secret agenda to
make the process more tractable.
