+*** Build problems
+
+build/1411: build fails on hpux 10.20 and hpux 11.00 with CMA threads
+
+GDB does not build on HP/UX 10.20 or HP/UX 11.00 if the CMA
+thread package is installed. The compile error is:
+
+ ../../gdb/hpux-thread.c:222: variable-size type declared outside of any function
+
+This happens only if the CMA thread package is installed.
+
+As a workaround, you can disable support for CMA threads
+by editing the file gdb/configure. Find the line:
+
+ if test -f /usr/include/dce/cma_config.h ; then
+
+And replace it with:
+
+ if false ; then
+
*** Misc
gdb/1560: Control-C does not always interrupt GDB.
function with a hidden parameter, but gcc 3.x conforms to a multi-vendor
ABI for C++ which requires multiple object code functions.
-*** Stack backtraces
-
-gdb/1505: [regression] gdb prints a bad backtrace for a thread
-
-When backtracing a thread, gdb doesn't stop until it hits garbage.
-This is sensitive to the operating system and thread library.

+*** Threads
-GDB's SPARC, MIPS and PowerPC targets, in 6.0, have not been updated
-to use the new frame mechanism.
+threads/1650: manythreads.exp
-People encountering problems with these targets should consult GDB's
-web pages and mailing lists (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/) to see
-if there is an update.
+On GNU/Linux systems that use the old LinuxThreads thread library, a
+program rapidly creating and deleting threads can confuse GDB leading
+to an internal error.
-arm-*-*
+This problem does not occur on newer systems that use the NPTL
+library, and did not occur with GDB 6.1.
-GDB's ARM target, in 6.0, has not been updated to use the new frame
-mechanism.
+threads/2137: Native Solaris Thread Debugging broken.
-Fortunately the ARM target, in the GDB's mainline sources, has been
-updated so people encountering problems should consider downloading a
-more current GDB (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current).
+Use GDB 6.4 if thread debugging is needed on Solaris.
