Yes, though...

... I had never heard of sparclet before, until I noticed that line too.
I had assumed it was a Sun SPARC cpu variant, and ignored it.

But now I notice that it's something else.  We still have a chapter
about it in the manual:

  https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Sparclet.html

But, NEWS says the support was removed in gdb 6.1...

* REMOVED configurations and files

...
Tsqware Sparclet                                sparclet-*-*
...


ChangeLog-2003 has:

...
        * sparclet-stub.c, sparclet-rom.c: Delete obsolete file.
...

etc.


So the remaining bits are just waiting for someone to garbage
collect them.

No worries.  :-)


Thanks,
