* gdb.texinfo: slight expansion of new text on reading info files
	* gdbinv-s.m4.in: correct and expand info on cross-debugging
	H8/300 from DOS.

	* ChangeLog: guess...

Use the special @code{gdb83} command @samp{device @var{port}} if you need to

hosts, where it is typically something like @file{/dev/ttya}.
On DOS hosts, communication with the serial device is handled by an

the serial device from a DOS host, execute @samp{asynctsr 2}

for the H8/300: @samp{speed @var{bps}}. This command also is only used
from Unix hosts; on DOS hosts, set the line speed as usual from outside
GDB with the DOS @kbd{mode} command (for instance, @w{@samp{mode
com2:9600,n,8,1,p}} for a 9600 bps connection).
For example, you might start an H8/300 debugging session at 19200 bps
