Thanks for walking me by memory lane :-)

I found an IRIX machine that's still up and running, and I was able
to rebuild it. Unfortunately, two issues occured:
1. I had to make insert_breakpoint_locations non-static;
2. GDB now SIGSEGV-s when starting a program:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x10163180 in bpstat_stop_status (aspace=0x108b97b0, bp_addr=268791248,
ptid=..., ws=0x7ffd7870)
at /nfs/nas/homes/brobecke/act/gdb-public/gdb/breakpoint.c:5536
5536 b->ops->check_status (bs);

The problem is that b->ops is NULL. I can continue investigating,
but I have this feeling that this is just a waste of time, since
I strongly suspect that IRIX support is going to be removed
a couple of weeks from now (I can start the procedure if you'd like).
