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.
I had good success building and running 5.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.3. I don't know
whether the problems you describe occur here, though.
