If this position was taken for Windows or some archs would we have moved to GDB head like we have? Does Linux by itself define a stable build suitable for a change? I do not think it does. If this move fixed Linux but broke Windows is making the change valid? I suggest it is in the interest of everyone to see the tools fixed on all hosts. I am not sure how we stage changes like this so they can be tested as requiring each developer to have access to all hosts is not feasible. I have a real concern that fixing some of these issues may require regressing tool changes and with projects like pre-qual there may be a negative impact. > Crossing threads, the mailer series of modifications by Alex was to support my > need to send reports from Windows.

Thank you for your efforts. They make a huge difference in the quality we can produce.
