The only problem I see is that I have no copyright assignment
for gdb, just for binutils. But the changes needed might be
so small so that theres no reason for an assignment.
I don't know what the changes will involve as I've never done this (in
fact I think everyone has been avoiding this one :-( ).
Can you at find out what the changes look like - how many files need to
be touched e.t.c.? If the operation is relatively small/mechanical then
it should be possible for someone with an assignment to reproduce it.
Getting the watchpoint stuff into the target vector is long overdue.
When it comes to (C) I tend to be very conservative :-/
