*** Changes in GDB 6.1.1:
+* Pending breakpoint support (also included in GDB 6.1)
+
+Support has been added to allow you to specify breakpoints in shared
+libraries that have not yet been loaded. If a breakpoint location
+cannot be found, and the "breakpoint pending" option is set to auto,
+GDB queries you if you wish to make the breakpoint pending on a future
+shared-library load. If and when GDB resolves the breakpoint symbol,
+the pending breakpoint is removed as one or more regular breakpoints
+are created.
+
+Pending breakpoints are very useful for GCJ Java debugging.

Older HPUX ANSI C compilers did not accept variable array sizes. somsolib.c
has been updated to use constant array sizes.
-* Bug fixes
+* Fixed a panic in the DWARF Call Frame Info code on Solaris 2.7

+GCC 3.3.2, on Solaris 2.7, includes the DW_EH_PE_funcrel encoding in

+When examining parameters in optimized shared library code generated
+by a mainline GCC, GDB would incorrectly report ``Variable "..." is
+not available''. GDB now correctly displays the variable's value.
