Apple version gdb-309

[Nick Roberts <nick@nick.uklinux.net>]

Does the version:

GNU gdb 5.3-20030128 (Apple version gdb-309) (Thu Dec  4 15:41:30 GMT 2003)
Copyright 2003 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
GDB is free software...
...
This GDB was configured as "powerpc-apple-darwin".

come out of the FSF repository or Apple's? I realise it says 
Apple version gdb-309 but Mandrake has:

GNU gdb 5.2.1-2mdk (Mandrake Linux)

and this is standard gdb AFAICT.

I've had a report of the following transaction:

(gdb) server interpreter mi "-var-update *"
Switching to interpreter "console"
(gdb)


AFAIK gdb 5.3 in the FSF repository (at sources.redhat.com) doesn't know
about the command "interpreter mi".

If these are two different versions where do they overlap? (or, conversely,
where do they differ?)

More specifically will the future versions for Mac OS 
( == powerpc-apple-darwin? )  have the changes for -stack-list-locals and
-var-list-children that I committed to the FSF repository on 2004-01-20?

Thanks for any help,

Nick
