However, ups has been ported and the port includes all the diffs to stock gdb-4.13 to support ups and FreeBSD. What's missing is support for kernel debugging and attach/detach, but what the hey. There's a copy of the port on wcarchive as /incoming/FreeBSD/ups-port.tgz. I actually compiled it and it worked quite well, although I personally consider tgdb to be superior. Note that I didn't do this port, I just know about it. Gary J.
