Re: [cdt-dev] building CDT

[Brian Moyle <bmoyle@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jeff,

My thoughts are... Sounds great!

In response to Robert, I've been playing with the M5/CDT-0508 build
for a little while and finally decided to dig a little deeper (I'm 
interested in seeing what it would take to get GdbPicl to work with 
"gdbserver", for remote debugging).

I'll try the latest Integration Build and see if that works any better.

Thanks!

Brian
