Ok, after I read that, I dl'd gdb-19990209.tar.gz. Is that really
the lastest snapshot (4.17.86) everybody is talking about?
Well, anyways, on my sparc-solaris 2.5.1 I did

setenv CC cc
./configure
make

and found a few glitches (i.e. warnings :-) and a make error.

cc is from SunWorkshop Solaris 4.2.

I attached the output during the build process. I haven't had
time to look into this further as I will need to go to sleep
now :-)

   [Jim sorry]

   With GDB trialing the move to ANSI-C it will probably be helpful if
   there is a list of recommended compilers available.

Hmmm.  Most compilers that people have will be in the recommended
category I think, so it might be simpler just to mention the compilers
that we know will be a problem?  In either case, that's a good idea for
an addition to README and NEWS, so people aren't caught by surprise.
