The result is simply that the Linux distributions will effectively fork their tree and use a gdb with your patches added. This already happened with RedHat - they ship a gdb 4.17 rpm with your debugging patch added in 5.2. Threads debugging is a critical enough thing that the other dists will probably follow. This is unfortunate, but will happen. -Andi -- This is like TV. I don't like TV.
