I've completed another full test sequence on ARM, Cell (PowerPC & SPU)
and s390, both native and remote, with the current 7.5 branch.  Of the
issues I originally described, the following "real" problems remain:

- Hardware watchpoints across fork are not supported (ARM, ppc, s390)
- Missing 32-/64-bit siginfo conversion code (ppc, s390)
- SPU gdbserver does not support multi-process mode

Since all these are are pre-existing problems, they shouldn't be
treated as release blockers, so I have *not* put them on the Wiki.

In addition, there's the following testsuite-only issues:

- A few C++ test regressions (potentially compiler issues)
- Failures in gdb.base/pc-fp.exp
- Failures in gdb.mi/mi-var-rtti.exp

Sergio: I haven't been working on these ...  If you feel they
should go on the Wiki as release blockers, would you mind doing
so yourself?

Bye,
Ulrich
