Comment 12 for bug 1233185

this was ppc64el only, now fixed in utopic. I really would like to see the utopic version in trusty, re-adding the linaro changes and the updates of the 7.7.1 release, as documented at https://sourceware.org/gdb/

This is a minor corrective release over GDB 7.7, fixing the following issues:

PR win32/14018 (pc register not available error on Windows)
PR python/16547 (GDB crashing on gdb.python/py-linetable.exp)
PR build/16550 (64-bit GDB doesn't build on Solaris)
PR gdb/16626 (auto-load regression: gdb uses wrong file to test safeness)
PR breakpoints/16292 (GDB oversteps a range in some cases.)
PR gdb/16575 (stale breakpoint instructions in the code cache)
PR gdb/16696 (AIX 32-bit cores, high section addresses)
PR gdb/16721 (Erroneous backtrace on AVR)
PR gdb/16832 (Erroneous backtrace on avrxmega architectures)
PR build/16873 (GDB 7.7 does not build with GCC 4.9)
