The GDB 4.8 features are:
* Guile scripting support.
* Python scripting enhancements.
* New commands:
** guile
** guile-repl
** info auto-load guile-scripts [REGEXP]
* New options:
** maint ada set ignore-descriptive-types (on|off)
** maint set target-async (on|off)
** set|show auto-load guile-scripts (on|off)
** set|show auto-connect-native-target
** set|show guile print-stack (none|message|full)
** set|show mi-async (on|off)
** set|show print symbol-loading (off|brief|full)
** set|show record btrace replay-memory-access (read-only|read-write)
* Remote Protocol:
** The qXfer:btrace:read packet supports a new annex 'delta'.
* GDB/MI:
** A new option "-gdb-set mi-async" replaces "-gdb-set target-async".
* New target configurations:
** PowerPC64 GNU/Linux little-endian
* btrace enhancements:
** The btrace record target now supports the 'record goto' command.
** The btrace record target supports limited reverse execution and
replay.
* ISO C99 variable length automatic arrays support.
* It is no longer required to "set target-async on" in order to use
background execution commands (e.g., "c&", "s&", etc.).

* For C++, the 'typeid' operator has been added and
exception catchpoints can be filtered by type.
* Python scripting has been extended
* New commands and new command options
* New convenice variables/functions
* Some GDB/MI improvements
* Remote protocal improvments
* SystemTap SDT probes support AArch64 GNU/Linux
* Support for Fission DWP file format version 2
* 'tsave' command supports CTF (Common Trace Format)
* New script 'gcore'
- Remove now obsolete gdb-aarch64-hw-break.patch

- gdb-aarch64-hw-break.patch: fix setting hardware debug registers after
fork
- Merge from fedoras gdb-7.6.50-20130731-cvs, of what will become 7.7
eventually. This includes 7.6, which gave:
* new native configurations (e.g. ARM AArch64 GNU/Linux)
* new targets (e.g. ARM AArch64, Lynx 178 PowerPC, x86_64/Cygwin)
* support for the "mini debuginfo" section, .gnu_debugdata
* the C++ ABI now defaults to the GNU v3 ABI
* more Python scripting improvements
* some GDB/MI improvements
* new configure options, new commands, and options
* new remote packets
* a new "target record-btrace" has been added while the
"target record" command has been renamed to "target record-full"
- gdb-ia64-tdep.patch: build fixes
- gdb-ppc-ptrace.diff: Remove patch, not needed on new kernels

- Merge from gdb-7.5.1-30.fc18.src.rpm.
7.5.1 gives:
* An "Attempt to dereference a generic pointer" errors (-var-create).
* Backtrace problems on x32 (PR backtrace/14646).
* next/step/finish problems on x32 (PR gdb/14647).
* A "malformed linespec error: unexpected keyword, [...]" error
(PR breakpoints/14643).
* GDB crash while stepping through powerpc (32bits) code.
* A failed assertion in linux_ptrace_test_ret_to_nx.
* A "!frame_id_inlined_p (frame_id)" failed assertion.
* A "No more reverse-execution history." error during reverse
"next" execution (PR 14548).
* Incomplete command descriptions in "apropos" output.
* PR gdb/14494 (a GDB crash difficult to characterize).
7.5 gives:
* Go language support.
* New targets (x32 ABI, microMIPS, Renesas RL78, HP OpenVMS ia64).
* More Python scripting improvements.
* SDT (Static Defined Tracing) probes support with SystemTap probes.
* GDBserver improvements (stdio connections, target-side evaluation
of breakpoint conditions, remote protocol improvements).
* Other miscellaneous improvements (ability to stop when a shared
library is loaded/unloaded, dynamic printf, etc).
* Reverse debugging on ARM.
- Do not provide a custom (safe) auto-load dir.
