The Eclipse CDT developers decided to support only certain gdb releases for a given CDT release. Surely that is what everyone does -- though Eclipse may support a much narrower range of gdb versions than you would like. Also, Eclipse currently doesn't have a console (to my knowledge; I haven't played with the latest snapshots yet). So some of the major problems with MI are avoided.

My impression is that people are working on MI and trying to eliminate the remaining problems. Tom
