   7 Contrary to the GDB 5.1 announcement, the update did not contain fixes
   8 to a i386 floating point problem.  The latest sources do contain the
   9 fix and it will be included in GDB 5.2.

  16
  17 Due to a problem (conflicting types) with libiberty/regex.c, GDB 5.1
  18 does not build on HP/UX 10.20 when using the HP supplied compiler.
  19
  20 Due to bit rot, GDB 5.1 does not work on HP/UX 10.20 when built with
  21 GCC.

  24 hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.00
  25
  26 Due to a problem with ltconfig and long argument lines, GDB 5.1 does
  27 not configure on HP/UX 11.00.

  32 GDB 5.1 has a number of problems on this platform (Ref PR gdb/237).  A
  33 GDB 5.1 built with ``CC="cc -DUSE_LDR_ROUTINES"'' is reported to work
  34 much better.

  37 alpha-dec-osf4.0e
  38
  39 GDB 5.1 is known to have problems on this platform (encounters an
  40 internal error in the symbol table reader).

  45 There are known problems with building GDB 5.1 using GCC 3.0.x for the
  46 64 bit SPARC target (bad code gen).  You could try a development
  47 version of GCC.

  50 i586-sco-sysv5uw7.1.1
  51
  52 There are known problems with GDB 5.1's thread support on this
  53 platform.  Non-threaded programs should work.

  57
  58 GDB 5.1 assumes that the host C compiler implemends alloca().  GCC is
  59 one such compiler.  This problem should be fixed on the trunk.
