Subject:	ANNOUNCE: Release 2 of DJGPP packages of gdb 5.3
Reply-To:	djgpp AT delorie DOT com

Hello.

I'd like to announce release 2 of DJGPP packages of gdb 5.3.

This release incorporates a fix from Andris Pavenis, to cope with a problem in
the debug information generated by gcc 3.x and preprocessor defines. There are
also a couple of small changes to the build system: readline/Makefile now has
paths off $DJDIR rather than my build directory; default to building for i386,
when running the configure script.

I recommend that people using the binary package upgrade to release 2.

The major change in gdb 5.3 for DJGPP users is that GDB now supports C/C++
preprocessor macros - it can expand macros. For more details, see
gnu/gdb-5.3/gdb/NEWS, once a package of gdb 5.3 has been installed, or read
the announcement on the web here:

http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/download/ANNOUNCEMENT

DJGPP packages of gdb 5.2.3 can be downloaded from Simtel.NET. If you wish to
use gdb or bfdsymify, you should download the binary distribution -
gdb53b.zip. If you wish to look at or rebuild from the sources, you should
download the source distribution - gdb53s.zip. The documentation is available
in HTML, PostScript and DVI formats from the documentation distribution -
gdb53d.zip. If you wish to use the BFD or GDB libraries, then you should
download the "additional" distribution - gdb53a.zip. (If you don't know what
the BFD and GDB libraries are, then you probably don't need them. You can read
the BFD documentation from the binary distribution, to find out.)

5.3 has been installed;
