+Good luck! Comments and suggestions about this section are particularly
+welcome; send them to @samp{bug-gdb@@prep.ai.mit.edu}.
+
+When hosting GDB on a new operating system, to make it possible to debug
+core files, you will need to either write specific code for parsing your
+OS's core files, or customize @file{bfd/trad-core.c}. First, use
+whatever @code{#include} files your machine uses to define the struct of
+registers that is accessible (possibly in the u-area) in a core file
+(rather than @file{machine/reg.h}), and an include file that defines whatever
+header exists on a core file (e.g. the u-area or a @samp{struct core}). Then
+modify @code{trad_unix_core_file_p()} to use these values to set up the
+section information for the data segment, stack segment, any other
+segments in the core file (perhaps shared library contents or control
+information), ``registers'' segment, and if there are two discontiguous
+sets of registers (e.g. integer and float), the ``reg2'' segment. This
+section information basically delimits areas in the core file in a
+standard way, which the section-reading routines in BFD know how to seek
+around in.
+
+Then back in GDB, you need a matching routine called
+@code{fetch_core_registers()}. If you can use the generic one, it's in
+@file{core-dep.c}; if not, it's in your @file{@var{xxx}-xdep.c} file.
+It will be passed a char pointer to the entire ``registers'' segment,
+its length, and a zero; or a char pointer to the entire ``regs2''
+segment, its length, and a 2. The routine should suck out the supplied
+register values and install them into GDB's ``registers'' array.

+@chapter Adding a New Target
+
+For a new target called @var{ttt}, first specify the configuration as
+described in @ref{Config,,Adding a New Configuration}. If your new
+target is the same as your new host, you've probably already done that.
+
+A variety of files specify attributes of the target environment:
+
+@table @file
+@item gdb/tconfig/@var{ttt}
+Specifies what object files are needed for target @var{ttt}, by
+defining the makefile macro @samp{TDEPFILES=@dots{}}.
+Also specifies the header file which describes @var{ttt}, by defining
+@samp{TM_FILE= tm-@var{ttt}.h}. You can also define @samp{CC},
+@samp{REGEX} and @samp{REGEX1}, @samp{SYSV_DEFINE}, @samp{TM_CFLAGS},
+and other Makefile variables here; see @file{Makefile.in}.
+
+@item gdb/tm-@var{ttt}.h
+(@file{tm.h} is a link to this file, created by configure).
+Contains macro definitions about the target machine's
+registers, stack frame format and instructions.
+Crib from existing @file{tm-*.h} files when building a new one.
+
+@item gdb/@var{ttt}-tdep.c
+Contains any miscellaneous code required for this target machine.
+On some machines it doesn't exist at all. Sometimes the macros
+in @file{tm-@var{ttt}.h} become very complicated, so they are
+implemented as functions here instead, and the macro is simply
+defined to call the function.
+
+@item gdb/exec.c
+Defines functions for accessing files that are
+executable on the target system. These functions open and examine an
+exec file, extract data from one, write data to one, print information
+about one, etc. Now that executable files are handled with BFD, every
+target should be able to use the generic exec.c rather than its
+own custom code.
+
+@item gdb/@var{arch}-pinsn.c
+Prints (disassembles) the target machine's instructions.
+This file is usually shared with other target machines which use the
+same processor, which is why it is @file{@var{arch}-pinsn.c} rather
+than @file{@var{ttt}-pinsn.c}.
+
+@item gdb/@var{arch}-opcode.h
+Contains some large initialized
+data structures describing the target machine's instructions.
+This is a bit strange for a @file{.h} file, but it's OK since
+it is only included in one place. @file{@var{arch}-opcode.h} is shared
+between the debugger and the assembler, if the GNU assembler has been
+ported to the target machine.
+
+@item gdb/tm-@var{arch}.h
+This often exists to describe the basic layout of the target machine's
+processor chip (registers, stack, etc).
+If used, it is included by @file{tm-@var{xxx}.h}. It can
+be shared among many targets that use the same processor.
+
+@item gdb/@var{arch}-tdep.c
+Similarly, there are often common subroutines that are shared by all
+target machines that use this particular architecture.
