Hi -- 
  some hints on gdb:
    when you get 4.30, recompile it.
    if you use one of the newer versions of gcc (like 1.37.23) patch param.h :

gdb-3.4/param.h (straight off of dg-rtp.dg.com) :

 /* changed from 'void' to 'char' in first arg of bcopy -- MON */
 #define EXTRACT_RETURN_VALUE(TYPE,REGBUF,VALBUF) \
   bcopy ( &(((char *)REGBUF)[REGISTER_BYTE(RV_REGNUM)]),  \
           (VALBUF),  \
           TYPE_LENGTH (TYPE) )
