As I've mentioned several times to RE, TLS support depends on non-toolchain MD bits. A binutils import is not held up due to me being "burned out". There is no reason to create assembler and linker churn right now until you have a plan for the implementation of the MD bits. Please get commitments for every platform we have and a development schedule and you'll get a binutils import. > - Figure out the plan for a newer GDB that supports all of our Tier-1 > platforms and can be extended to support KSE debugging. A lot of > people have discussed this and I welcome more open discussion on it. I just about have most of our local hacks ported to GDB 6.0. However, there is the huge need for a KSE knowledgeable person to design and implement debugging support for KSE threading.
