We have it installed now on our mmaxen at CMU, I did the fixes to gdb 3.5
for all our supported architectures.  There were two problems specific
to the encore: alloca() is broken ( you must use gdb's one),
and some difference of opinion about coff symtables between encore and
the gnu guys ;-).  I have posted the latter fix to this list.

There are plans to integrate Mach support into gdb 4.0, for now
you'll have to get it from CMU.  I do believe at Encore they
had it working internally, but I do not know if they distribute it.

If there is interest I'll set up an ftp-able place, let me know.
