BUG REPORTS
-----------
Send bug reports to gdb-patches@cygnus.com.
Note that since no testing is done on the snapshots, and snapshots may even
be made when gdb is in an inconsistent state, it may not be unusual for an
occasional snapshot to have a very obvious bug, such as failure to compile
on *any* machine. It is likely that such bugs will be fixed by the next
snapshot, so it really isn't necessary to report them unless they persist
for a couple days.
Bugs which are non-obvious, such as failure to compile on only a specific
machine, a new machine dependent bug (particularly one not detected by the
testsuite), missing machine dependent files, etc should be reported when
you discover them, or have a suggested patch to fix them.
