Last change on this file since 47eeca5 was 55581cc, checked in by William Harrington <kb0iic@…>, 10 years ago

32bit and Pure-64bit books didn't get the mv command for the gdb.py files during final system gcc copied over from master branch. This is now fixed. Noticed when building ppc and inspecting ldconfig -v output.
