I tried to compile GDB on powerpc/NetBSD platform. I could compile it
successfully, but everytime i run it , it gives me following error message

****
.gdbinit:5: Error in sourced command
file: Function "internal_error"not defined.
(gdb)r
Starting program:/amd/netapp7/home/averma/tmp/gdb-5.0/gdb/threadtest
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function. GDB will be
unable to debug shared library initializers and track explicitly loaded
dynamic code.
Breakpoint 1 at 0x21846754
(gdb) Program received  Signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction
0x18004b8 in _start ()
********

fyi, using a current gdb, and gdb from the 5.1 branch i see this.

5.0 is to old to be worth worrying about.
