Are the sequent symmetry and PTX still live platforms? Are tm-ptx.h
and tm-symmetry.h still used?
The machines are still alive and well, but the GDB support is probably
pretty rotted. I got some patches to update those a couple years ago,
but had lots of trouble with them, and never integrated successfully.
Sequent has some sort of parallel debugger they use, so I suspect GDB
won't be of much interest to them until it can debug parallel programs.
What is a Weitek 1167? Is it a third-party floating-point unit for
the i386 architecture?
It's third-party, but I don't think it's x86 specific. I used to have
more Weitek bits, but Alzheimers seems to have taken them away...
