Anyway, before sourceware.org got started, the only revision controlled history was in Cygnus's private CVS repository. That was mixed in with various NDA'd stuff, including some in the core files of GDB, so we couldn't publish the whole history without a lot of work sanitizing it. So, I don't think there's any way for you to get history farther back.
