	I've got Ultrix 4.0 on a VAX3500 and have got GDB
to compile .

	What exactly dies ?
From memory, (last week seems such along time ago) the only changes
required were with param.h  (mine links to m-vax.h in your case m-mips.h
tho I do not have a m-mips.h) 
	param.h defines a prototype for the function vprintf with
a comment say that it doesn't exist already. On ultrix 4.0
vprintf is defined so comment it out or as I did use a
#ifndef ULTRIX4
#define	vprintf.....
#endif
then in make CFLAGS= ... -DULTRIX4
