some known bugs in gdb, if you are into bug-hunting.
Update the TODO list with all the lists of gdb bugs lying around on paper.
It should be possible to use symbols from shared libraries before we know
exactly where the libraries will be loaded. E.g. "b perror" before running
the program. This could maybe be done as an extension of the "breakpoint

What has changed since GDB-3.5?
(Organized release by release)
*** Changes in GDB-4.2:
* Improved configuration
Only one copy of `configure' exists now, and it is not self-modifying.
Porting BFD is simpler.
* Stepping improved
The `step' and `next' commands now only stop at the first instruction
of a source line. This prevents the multiple stops that used to occur
in switch statements, for-loops, etc. `Step' continues to stop if a
function that has debugging information is called within the line.
* Bug fixing
Lots of small bugs fixed. More remain.
* New host supported (not target)
Intel 386 PC clone running Mach i386-none-mach
*** Changes in GDB-4.1:
* Multiple source language support
