No I don't, I mean M-x gdb in Emacs 23.1 is always an option for those using
older GDB releases (although it may depend how old, gdb-ui.el is better with
6.4 and later but should work back to 5.0 from 2000).
M-x gud-gdb should work in Emacs 23.1.50 as it does in Emacs 23.1.
I don't know what you mean by unreliable, but over the years, in my
experience, M-x gdb has become more reliable. Of course if you have a highly
customized environment, the results might be different and buffers might
appear in strange places. If you are having problems, I would recommend
starting with gdb-many-windows nil and then the startup should be similar
gud-gdb except that you can set breakpoints/control execution in the margin
and see the breakpoint locations there. Then you could display new buffers in
new frames, as and when needed, by using the pull down menu: GUD >
GDB-Frames-> <desired GDB buffer>.

On the contrary, I would like to remove gud-gdb at some point in the future.
