It would help to have some details on the state of Greg's (and/or Dave's and/or Robert's) port: * what code line is it based on (3.2.X or the trunk) ? * what's the status of its getting-started mechanism? Is that robust? Can you outline how it works? * what's the status of its address space manager (m_aspacemgr), one of the most difficult parts of making ports work? * what's the status of its debuginfo reader (m_debuginfo) ? * what kinds of programs run? which don't? * how well does it work in the presence of signals and threads? * does memcheck work? if yes, can you run large programs without getting lots of false errors? * what other changes are necessary?
