First thing I would do is stick with gdb 5.0.
Second thing is what are you targeting. 5.0 supports a number of targets,
operating systems and file formats. Is it a particular board or machine on the
market or one of your own design?
arm*-*-wince-pe supports WinCE using the PE file format
arm*-*-linux* is used to support Linux on ARM machines
everything else is supported as an embedded target, for which you need to
specify the file format you are going to use (ELF, PE, COFF, etc)
What exactly are you trying to target. arm is insufficient.

This is incorrect. ARM is supported in version 5.0. Linux support was added in
version 5.0. Support for RiscOS was obsoleted as no one is maintaining the
code. This is what people referred to as being removed.

This is true. I'll see what can be done.

That is all you should have to do for a native i386 build.

No, lynx is a separate target. I'm not familiar with it however.
