>Description:

The GDB distributed with FreeBSD 3.4 (I suspect as do future and past
versions) prints the version information:

cagney@b1.cygnus.com$ which gdb
/usr/bin/gdb
cagney@b1.cygnus.com$ gdb
GNU gdb 4.18

This GDB was configured as "i386-unknown-freebsd".

Unfortunatly, that can't be correct.  GDB 4.18 doesn't even build on
FreeBSD 3.4 :-)

>How-To-Repeat:

Run GDB..

>Fix:
	
Can you please update the GDB version information in your GDB distro
so that it clearly and correctly identifies the program's heritage.  I
don't care what, just as long as it is clear to the user that the GDB
program isn't an off the shelf 4.18.  (Hmm, actually I do care a
little, please don't choose something like 4.18.1! :-).

	enjoy,
		Andrew
