Ah, OK. That's surprising. Nice.
Rather than go back and forth on this, I've taken a stab at implementing
what I'm trying to get across here. I don't think there is any reason to
now add Windows 9x support for features that have been missing for years
so I didn't do that.
I don't know if they were missing from the non FSF MinGW port of gdb,
but I won't go look either.
Sure. What happened was that now if the exec file wasn't found,
gdb would not see the dlls, since now the target_so_ops are
associated with current_gdbarch. That's what the PR is about.
Well, the 1/2 part of the patch also fixes that case, so it's OK.
I'll check this in unless there are serious objections.
No, not from me. Thanks,
