: ----------------------------
: revision 1.22
: date: 2004/04/18 16:09:33;  author: obrien;  state: Exp;  lines: +1 -1
: Revert rev 1.21 which configured with --enable-64-bit-bfd.
: GDB 5.2 can't handle a 64-bit BFD on a 32-bit host.
: We can revisit configuring with --enable-64-bit-bfd when we get a modern GDB.

So (I think) this will happen not earlier than GDB 6 import.
David will correct me if I'm wrong.
