+* END-OF-LIFE frame compatibility module
+
+GDB's internal frame infrastructure has been completely rewritten.
+The new infrastructure making it possible to support key new features
+including DWARF 2 Call Frame Information. To aid in the task of
+migrating old configurations to this new infrastructure, a
+compatibility module, that allowed old configurations to continue to
+work, was also included.
+
+GDB 6.2 will be the last release to include this frame compatibility
+module. This change directly impacts the following configurations:
+
+h8300-*-*
+mcore-*-*
+mn10300-*-*
+ns32k-*-*
+sh64-*-*
+v850-*-*
+xstormy16-*-*
+
+Unless there is activity to revive these configurations, they will be
+made OBSOLETE in GDB 6.3, and REMOVED from GDB 6.4.

When backtracing a thread, gdb does not stop when it reaches the
outermost frame, instead continuing until it hits garbage. This is
sensitive to the operating system and thread library.

-hppa*-*-*
-mips*-*-*
-
-The MIPS and HPPA backtrace code has only very recently been updated
-to use GDB's new frame mechanism. At present there are still a few
-problems, in particular backtraces through signal handlers do not
-work.
-
-People encountering problems with these architectures should consult
-GDB's web pages and mailing lists (http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/)
-to see if there are updates.
-
-powerpc*-*-*
-
-PowerPC architecture support, in 6.1, does not use the new frame code.
-
-Fortunately, PowerPC architecture support, in GDB's mainline sources,
-have been updated. People encountering problems should consider
-downloading a more current snapshot of GDB
-(http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/current/).
