astest was just a little hack that printed some info I needed - it could definitely go. In fact, the whole gdb directory could probably go, although I suppose it might be useful to someone/somewhere/sometime. Cheers!
Thanks for the info. It just appeared to me that my intention of not stopping new users could also be accomplished by simply separating a "gdbtools" make target from the "make all" target. This way the code would be preserved but it won't stop anyone on compilation problems.
Wolfgang, what do you think?
Let's do both: remove the astest.c file as the same can be done using standard tools (bjdump), and remove the tools/gdb target from the default build sequence (so build time will improve).
Detlev, can you please do this and check it in?
Best regards,
