You don't say what version of GDB and on what platform did you try
this.  `com1' implies the MS-DOS (a.k.a. DJGPP) port of GDB.  Is that
true?

I am unable to get dejagnu to build.  I have checked out the dejagnu sources,
and downloaded the latest tarball from sourceware.  It refuses to build anything
with a dependency on ./include/libiberty.h.  This file (actually the whole
directory) is not present when the module is checked out.  Should the directory
be added to the module, the configury changed to setup INCDIR correctly, or am I
just doing something dumb?

I'm running GDB from a BASH shell on a Windows 98 platform. The version and
configuration of GDB is:-

>GNU gdb 4.17-gnupro-98r2
>This GDB was configured as
"--host=i586-pc-cygwin32 --target=mips-tx39-elf".

This version was supplied to me along with the demo board that I'm trying to
connect to. I assume I was given a good working setup. I've also compiled a
version 5 build of GDB which showed a similar problem.

I'm also reasonably sure my monitor is all OK. If I connect to it using  a
terminal emulator, I can stimulate the transmission of GBD protocol packets.

There must be some diagnostics available from GDB somewhere.

I've never used these GNU tools before, so I expect to encounter some very
fundamental problems most likey caused by my errors.

Many thanks.
