I use the 1.2 version of gdb. I've source for 3.2 and 3.5, but haven't done
the work necessary to run either of these 3.x versions on the RT running
IBM/4.3 (aka "AOS" or "ACIS"). Bill Catty (MIT) and others have mentioned
porting the 3.5 version, I don't think that the work has been completed yet.

As for a port-4.3 release, e.g., 4.3-Reno, IBM has already stated that it
is withdrawing support effective 22 December 1990, and may, if in IBM's
judgement it is warranted, issue a final PTM within the 3 month period
following termination of support. See my announcement posting last May if
you missed it.
