I'm not following the thread so I'm not sure what patch you're referring
to. But if you want to give me a URL for a patch, any time this weekend
or the beginning of next week is a good time for testbedding.
It takes roughly 5 hours to test all configurations on one version of
gdb now -- I am not in a position to testbed lots of patches. The big
time sink is that I test (all gdb) * (all binutils) and there are lots
of each of them. It's much faster if I run just one test script, but
for a symbol table lookup patch, I want to run the whole suite.
The build time for gcc is increasing even worse than Gate's Law, also.
(Gates' Law: every 18 months, the speed of software halves).
