It's nice to see that the V850 architecture is (still) actively supported by
Red Hat! 

But one small remark: you should mention in your tool building instructions
for the V850 tools that GDB-5.0 and INSIGHT-5.0 have to be patched in order
to support breakpoints for the V850! We struggled for several weeks to get
breakpoints work until we found out that the original GDB-5.0 assumes a
different breakinst than eCos resp. newer gdb-stubs. The attached small patch
removes this problem (it can be applied in the same way as the insight-tcl.pat
patch).

Yes, we know that newer GDB and INSIGHT sources have already incorporated this
change but unfortunately we found no actual version which compiled under Linux
(we use SUSE 7.0 but that shouldn't matter!?) as well as under Cygwin! If
someone knows "a known good" version of INSIGHT sources we would be interested.
