Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Announce: Multithreaded application debu g now supported

John,

You are like santa claus--except there always seems to be a goody under the
tree not just once a year.  I've been using a kernel checkout from Oct 27th

Thanks for all the hard work on Microblaze uclinix.  What you have
accomplished--and continue to do--is nothing short of astounding.
