General Wish List
=================

+
+GDBARCH cleanup (Andrew Cagney)
+
+The non-generated parts of gdbarch.{sh,h,c} should be separated out
+into gdbarch-utils.[hc] (Name ok).
+
+The ``info architecture'' command should be replaced with a fixed
+``set architecture'' (implemented using the command.c enum code).
+
+Document that gdbarch_init_ftype could easily fail because it didn't
+identify an architecture.
+
+--
+
+Check that GDB can handle all BFD architectures (Andrew Cagney)
+
+There should be a test that checks that BFD/GDB are in sync with
+regard to architecture changes. Something like a test that first
+queries GDB for all supported architectures and then feeds each back
+to GDB.. Anyone interested in learning how to write tests? :-)
