Re: build gdb5.0 on freebsd4.1

FYI,

GDB 5.0 didn't work on FreeBSD *.* - it was a known problem and was
documented in the gdb/TODO file:

 http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/gdb/2000-04/msg00004.html
 gdb-cvs fails to build on freebsd-elf

 Either the FreeBSD group need to contribute their local GDB changes
 back to the master sources or someone needs to provides a new
 (clean-room) implementation.  Since the former involves a fairly
 complicated assignment the latter may be easier. [cagney]

This problem has since been fixed (thanks to various parties) and the
current GDB sources which can be obtained from
http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/#download should build/work on FreeBSD 4.x
(at least).
