Hey folks. I'm new on this particular list, but I have tried
searching the archives (and Google) for any solution to my problem.

I've tried building gdb 6.3 on several versions of Solaris, both Intel
and Sparc architectures, and have yet to see it build completely.

Uh yeah, gdb 6.3 was a bit goofed on SPARC.

On Solaris 8 Sparc, the failure is as follows:

. . .
gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/procfs.c

I've never seen this failure. I've been building gdb on SPARC Solaris
2.6, 7 and 9 from time to time and I can't remember ever seeing this
particular failure. Could you try building a recent gdb snapshot on
your system. See http://sourceware.org/gdb on how to obtain a
snapshot.

It's slightly different on Solaris 10 Intel:

. . .
gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I../../gdb -I../../gdb/config -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I../../gdb/../include/opcode -I../../gdb/../readline/.. -I../bfd -I../../gdb/../bfd -I../../gdb/../include -I../intl -I../../gdb/../intl -DMI_OUT=1 -DTUI=1 -Wimplicit -Wreturn-type -Wcomment -Wtrigraphs -Wformat -Wparentheses -Wpointer-arith -Wuninitialized -Wformat-nonliteral -Wunused-label -Wunused-function ../../gdb/tui/tui.c

/usr/include/term.h:1060: error: parse error before "SGTTY"
/usr/include/term.h:1120: error: parse error before '}' token

Ah, this defenitely has been fixed a while ago.
