   9         * gdb.texinfo: Changes made as part of a project to merge in

  12           on remote debugging. There are differences in documentation
  13           (HP vs.  non-HP) on C++ support (aCC vs. gnu gcc++). Also,
  14           the HP manual discusses catchpoints, hardware watchpoints, and
  15           some HPUX specific limitations for shared library support.
