+ GDB now includes general supports for debugging applications on
+ hybrid systems that use more than one single processor architecture

+ specific support to be added. The only hybrid architecture supported
+ in this version of GDB is the Cell Broadband Engine.

+* GDB now supports integrated debugging of Cell/B.E. applications that
+use both the PPU and SPU architectures. To enable support for hybrid

+--enable-targets configure option.
