+mips*-*-*
+powerpc*-*-*
+sparc*-*-*
+
+GDB's SPARC, MIPS and PowerPC targets, in 6.0, have not been updated
+to use the new frame mechanism.
+
+People encountering problems with these targets should consult GDB's
+web pages and mailing lists (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/) to see
+if there is an update.
+
+arm-*-*
+
+GDB's ARM target, in 6.0, has not been updated to use the new frame
+mechanism.
+
+Fortunately the ARM target, in the GDB's mainline sources, has been
+updated so people encountering problems should consider downloading a
+more current GDB (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current).

+gdb/1516: [regression] local classes, gcc 2.95.3, dwarf-2
+
+With gcc 2.95.3 and the dwarf-2 debugging format, classes which are
+defined locally to a function include the demangled name of the function
+as part of their name.  For example, if a function "foobar" contains a
+local class definition "Local", gdb will say that the name of the class
+type is "foobar__Fi.0:Local".
+
+This applies only to classes where the class type is defined inside a
+function, not to variables defined with types that are defined somewhere
+outside any function (which most types are).
