<body>
<p>The port has been updated to GDB 7.12.</p>
<p>7.12 includes additional fixes related to tracing
<tt>vfork()</tt>s. Some of these fixes depend on changes to
<tt>ptrace()</tt> in the kernel to report a new ptrace stop when
the parent of a <tt>vfork()</tt> resumes.</p>
<p>Support for &os;/mips userland binaries has been committed
upstream. These patches, along with support for debugging
&os;/mips kernels, should be added to the port soon.</p>
