Any idea where I can get
them, or should I be using a more recent version. There seems to be
some later
activity in the cvs directory, but it's not clear that's stable.
Are you looking for an older "official gnu" gdb? Look here:

Thanks. I did eventually find those. It seems the latest builds use
gdb-6.0 even though the
web page says 5.1.1. It turns out 5.1.1 won't build on our version of
Linux (enterprise 3.0)
or on OS X so I went ahead and built using 6.0.
It does appear that certain things are broken in the msp version of 6.0 --
backtrace doesn't correctly unwind the stack, breakpoints are handled
incorrectly, and sometimes
gdb is confused about where to find variables.
BTW, my changes to the simulator work fine -- I changed the memory read
and write functions so that
the following addresses are mapped to stdio
RXBUF0 (0x76) stdin
TXBUF0 (0x77) stdout
TXBUF1 (0x7F) stderr
I haven't done anything about a timer yet because I don't need that at
the moment.
