(Actually, if I play my cards right, I might even be able to guilt Jason into doing it.) In the meantime, if someone is dying for this capability, there is a version in the Darwin repository on opensource.apple.com.
Jim,
On the task of getting Darwin support into GDB. Have you, or Jason,
considered creating a jumbo patch and then submitting that to gdb-patches@?
I could then toss that onto an Apple branch so that I (or for that
matter anyone else) could cleanup and commit the bits they were
interested in.
The reason I think Apple should submit a patch is to ensure that there
is a clear transfer from Apple to the FSF of the changes.
enjoy,
Andrew
