RE: gdb vs. gcj

["Boehm, Hans" <hans dot boehm at hp dot com>]

I suspect Ranjit just explained the problem.  I was using various released
gdb versions, including 6.0.  I should have seen the announcement that those
were incompatible with 3.5. 

I'm in the process of getting and building the current 6.1 tree.

Thanks.
