I think that's a little unfair. Red Hat and IBM people are doing only Linux of course, and the majority of CodeSourcery's GDB work is targeting either Linux or bare metal. What non-free operating systems are you thinking of? DICOS? I'm looking at gdb/NEWS, and that's the only non-free OS I'm seeing that has gotten any work at all in the past several years. If anything, proprietary OS support is a rapidly dwindling part of GDB work, certainly far less than it was in the 1990s, when much time went into handling the combined idiosyncrasies of HP/UX, Solaris, AIX, OSF/1, Irix, etc.That said, the proper response from me would be to hack up something closer to what the right solution would be. But I'm afraid I simply don't have the motivation to do such a thing anymore. The environment in which GDB is being developed seems to have changed. It feels like I'm the only one who is still hacking on code for fun, and that I'm being surrounded by people for which writing GDB code is their job. It sometimes feels like most of the effort goes into supporting debugging embedded targets hosted on non-free operating systems.
