Great! Thanks! If you have time to drop a quick note when done, that
would be awesome.
Separately, do you know where I can find pre-built gdb binaries for
mips64, i.e. to debug -mabi=64? I'm assuming that is the 'official
one' going foward. (I have an account on the gcc compile farm.)
Thanks so much!
