                What has changed in GDB?

+* GDB Remote protocol
+
+For 64 bit targets, the memory packets ("M" and "m") can now contain a
+full 64 bit address.  The class-obscure gdb command:
+       set targetaddresssize 32
+can be used to revert to the old behavour.  For existing remote stubs
+the change should not be noticed as the additional address information
+will be discarded.
