+      <p>LLDB is the the debugger project in the LLVM family.  It
+	supports the Mac OS X, Linux, and &os; platforms, but the latter
+	has recently suffered under a lack of maintenance.</p>
+
+      <p>After cleaning bit rot in LLDB's &os; support, it again builds
+	and can be used for basic debugging of single-threaded
+	applications.  The test suite also runs to completion, although
+	it experiences a large number of failures.</p>
+
+      <p>Ed Maste has been granted an LLDB commit bit, and is now
+	committing ongoing bug fixes and development directly to the
+	upstream repository.  There is a significant amount of work
+	still to be done, with one goal being the incorporation of
+	<tt>lldb</tt> into the base system.</p>
+
+      <p>This project is sponsored by DARPA/AFRL in collaboration with
+	SRI International and the University of Cambridge.</p>
