* Readline 2.2
GDB now uses readline 2.2.
+** The PowerPC and RS6000 targets now have a `set processor' command.

+When GDB is configured for a powerpc*-*-* or an rs6000*-*-* target,
+you can use the `set processor' command to specify what variant of the
+PowerPC family you are debugging. The command
+
+ set processor NAME
+
+sets the PowerPC/RS6000 variant to NAME. GDB knows about the
+following PowerPC and RS6000 variants:
+
+ ppc-uisa PowerPC UISA - a PPC processor as viewed by user-level code
+ rs6000 IBM RS6000 ("POWER") architecture, user-level view
+ 403 IBM PowerPC 403
+ 403GC IBM PowerPC 403GC
+ 505 Motorola PowerPC 505
+ 860 Motorola PowerPC 860 or 850
+ 601 Motorola PowerPC 601
+ 602 Motorola PowerPC 602
+ 603 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 603 or 603e
+ 604 Motorola PowerPC 604 or 604e
+ 750 Motorola/IBM PowerPC 750 or 750
+
+At the moment, this command just tells GDB what to name the
+special-purpose processor registers. Since almost all the affected
+registers are inaccessible to user-level programs, this command is
+only useful for remote debugging in its present form.
