Hi all,

I have a problem with gdb in 4.0-CURRENT.  gdb-4.18 is almost completely useless
for debugging C++ - oveload resolution is completely broken, and attempting to
call functions frequently causes it to hang.  I believe this is true on linux
and solaris as well, gdb-4.18 is just not healthy.

So to do any real work you need gdb-4.17, which is a great advance on its successor.
However, the port of gdb-4.17 has disappeared, and the old port in my version
4.0-19990604-CURRENT does not build.

Does anyone have patches to get gdb-4.17 working in 4.0-CURRENT ?

Thanks
   Richard Cownie (tich@ma.ikos.com)
