+- Update to gdb 6.8.
+  * New native configurations
+  NetBSD/hppa			hppa*-*netbsd*
+  Xtensa GNU/Linux		xtensa*-*-linux*
+  * New targets
+  NetBSD/hppa			hppa*-*-netbsd*
+  Xtensa GNU/Lunux		xtensa*-*-linux*
+  * Change in command line behavior -- corefiles vs. process ids.
+    When the '-p NUMBER' or '--pid NUMBER' options are used, and
+    attaching to process NUMBER fails, GDB no longer attempts to open a
+    core file named NUMBER.  Attaching to a program using the -c option
+    is no longer supported.  Instead, use the '-p' or '--pid' options.
+  * GDB can now be built as a native debugger for debugging Windows x86
+  (mingw32) Portable Executable (PE) programs.
+  * Pending breakpoints no longer change their number when their address
+  is resolved.
+  * GDB now supports breakpoints with multiple locations,
+  including breakpoints on C++ constructors, inside C++ templates,
+  and in inlined functions.
+  * GDB's ability to debug optimized code has been improved.  GDB more
+  accurately identifies function bodies and lexical blocks that occupy
+  more than one contiguous range of addresses.
+  * Target descriptions can now describe registers for PowerPC.
+  * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports the AltiVec and SPE
+  registers on PowerPC targets.
+  * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports thread debugging on GNU/Linux
+  targets even when the libthread_db library is not available.
+  * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports the new file transfer
+  commands (remote put, remote get, and remote delete).
+  * The GDB remote stub, gdbserver, now supports run and attach in
+  extended-remote mode.
+  * hppa*64*-*-hpux11* target broken
+    The debugger is unable to start a program and fails with the following
+    error: "Error trying to get information about dynamic linker".
+    The gdb-6.7 release is also affected.
+  * GDB now supports the --enable-targets= configure option to allow
+  building a single GDB executable that supports multiple remote
+  target architectures.
+  * GDB now supports debugging C and C++ programs which use the
+  Decimal Floating Point extension.  In addition, the PowerPC target
+  now has a set of pseudo-registers to inspect decimal float values
+  stored in two consecutive float registers.
+  * The -break-insert MI command can optionally create pending
+  breakpoints now.
+  * Improved support for debugging Ada
+    Many improvements to the Ada language support have been made.  These
+    include:
+      - Better support for Ada2005 interface types
+      - Improved handling of arrays and slices in general
+      - Better support for Taft-amendment types
+      - The '{type} ADDRESS' expression is now allowed on the left hand-side
+	of an assignment
+      - Improved command completion in Ada
+      - Several bug fixes
+  * New commands
+  set print frame-arguments (all|scalars|none)
+  show print frame-arguments
+    The value of this variable can be changed to control which argument
+    values should be printed by the debugger when displaying a frame.
+  remote put
+  remote get
+  remote delete
+    Transfer files to and from a remote target, and delete remote files.
+  * New MI commands
+  -target-file-put
+  -target-file-get
+  -target-file-delete
+    Transfer files to and from a remote target, and delete remote files.
+  * New remote packets
+  vFile:open:
+  vFile:close:
+  vFile:pread:
+  vFile:pwrite:
+  vFile:unlink:
+    Open, close, read, write, and delete files on the remote system.
+  * GDB on GNU/Linux and HP/UX can now debug through "exec" of a new
+  process.
+  vAttach
+    Attach to an existing process on the remote system, in extended-remote
+    mode.
+  vRun
+    Run a new process on the remote system, in extended-remote mode.
