*** Changes since GDB 6.0:
+* Removed --with-mmalloc
+
+Support for the mmalloc memory manager has been removed, as it
+conflicted with the internal gdb byte cache.
+
+* Changes in AMD64 configurations
+
+The AMD64 target now includes the %cs and %ss registers. As a result
+the AMD64 remote protocol has changed; this affects the floating-point
+and SSE registers. If you rely on those registers for your debugging,
+you should upgrade gdbserver on the remote side.
+
+* Revised SPARC target
+
+The SPARC target has been completely revised, incorporating the
+FreeBSD/sparc64 support that was added for GDB 6.0. As a result
+support for LynxOS and SunOS 4 has been dropped.
