* Cygwin support for DWARF 2 added.
* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
Due to header problems with <sys/proc.h>, the file gdb/proc-api.c
wasn't able to compile compile on an IRIX 5 system.
* Added execute permission to gdb/gdbserver/configure
The shell script gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure lacked execute
permission. This bug would cause configure to fail on a number of
systems (Solaris, IRIX). Ref: server/519.

*** Changes in GDB 6.1.1:
* TUI (Text-mode User Interface) built-in (also included in GDB 6.1)
The TUI (Text-mode User Interface) is now built as part of a default
GDB configuration. It is enabled by either selecting the TUI with the
command line option "-i=tui" or by running the separate "gdbtui"
program. For more information on the TUI, see the manual "Debugging
with GDB".
* Pending breakpoint support (also included in GDB 6.1)
Support has been added to allow you to specify breakpoints in shared
libraries that have not yet been loaded. If a breakpoint location
cannot be found, and the "breakpoint pending" option is set to auto,
GDB queries you if you wish to make the breakpoint pending on a future
shared-library load. If and when GDB resolves the breakpoint symbol,
the pending breakpoint is removed as one or more regular breakpoints
are created.
Pending breakpoints are very useful for GCJ Java debugging.
* Fixed ISO-C build problems
The files bfd/elf-bfd.h, gdb/dictionary.c and gdb/types.c contained
non ISO-C code that stopped them being built using a more strict ISO-C
compiler (e.g., IBM's C compiler).
* Fixed build problem on IRIX 5
Due to header problems with <sys/proc.h>, the file gdb/proc-api.c
wasn't able to compile compile on an IRIX 5 system.
* Added execute permission to gdb/gdbserver/configure
The shell script gdb/testsuite/gdb.stabs/configure lacked execute
permission. This bug would cause configure to fail on a number of
systems (Solaris, IRIX). Ref: server/519.
* Fixed build problem on hpux2.0w-hp-hpux11.00 using the HP ANSI C compiler
Older HPUX ANSI C compilers did not accept variable array sizes. somsolib.c
has been updated to use constant array sizes.
* Fixed a panic in the DWARF Call Frame Info code on Solaris 2.7
GCC 3.3.2, on Solaris 2.7, includes the DW_EH_PE_funcrel encoding in
its generated DWARF Call Frame Info. This encoding was causing GDB to
panic, that panic has been fixed. Ref: gdb/1628.
* Fixed a problem when examining parameters in shared library code.
When examining parameters in optimized shared library code generated
by a mainline GCC, GDB would incorrectly report ``Variable "..." is
not available''. GDB now correctly displays the variable's value.
*** Changes in GDB 6.1:
* Removed --with-mmalloc
