* GDB now supports the vector ABI on S/390 GNU/Linux targets.
+* On GNU/Linux, GDB and gdbserver are now able to access executable
+ and shared library files without a "set sysroot" command when
+ attaching to processes running in different mount namespaces from
+ the debugger. This makes it possible to attach to processes in
+ containers as simply as "gdb -p PID" or "gdbserver --attach PID".

* Guile Scripting
** Memory ports can now be unbuffered.
