Re: aout version of gdb

We are trying to build an aout version of gdb (4.18) on a FreeBSD-3.5.1
system.  The build succeeds and we can start gdb but as soon as we type
'run' we get "reading register eip (#8): Bad address."  We've tried
different versions of gcc and even built an aout kernel but regardless
of what we try, we always get this error.

Any help/pointers/info re this would be much appreciated.
Stock GDB 4.18 and 5.0 never built on FreeBSD. You should have more luck if you down load a current snapshot. See http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/#download.
Alternativly, you could get the sources from the GDB shipped with FreeBSD 3.5.1 from the FreeBSD community (at a guess it would be somewhere in their CVS repository).
