gdb on x86

[Tom Tromey <tromey@cygnus.com>]

I'm running Red Hat x86 Linux 6.2.

I'm using gdb from sourceware.  My latest gdb/ChangeLog entry starts:

    2000-08-04  Kevin Buettner  <kevinb@redhat.com>

	    * minsyms.c (build_minimal_symbol_hash_tables): New function.
	    (compact_minimal_symbols): Don't construct hash tables here.

I did a clean build (deleted old build tree) after checking this out.

This gdb crashes immediately when I try to debug my Java program.
Stack trace appended.

The fix is to bring over the latest demangler from gcc.

Yes, yes, but you need to merge it with the changes i made to the
demangler, as they still aren't apparently actually in the gcc
sources, yet have been approved.
