A port of gdb (the GNU debugger) to the DECstation3100
is now available. I have used it myself for a while,
and am pretty happy with it, but more testing is needed.

You can get the diffs by anonymous FTP from pokey.cs.wisc.edu
(128.105.2.4) in pub/pgdb.diff.Z. The diffs are relative to
gdb version 3.4, available from prep.ai.mit.edu, and numerous
other places.

The file MIPS-NOTES summarizes known problems.

After you get 3.4, apply the diffs (with patch), then do:
config.gdb dec-3100
make
- and that should do it.

If you have a big-endian MIPS box (Mipsco, SGI) you could try:
config.gdb mips
- and it just MIGHT work. (I have no means or interest in testing it.)

If you find something wrong (that is not mentioned in the
file MIPS-NOTES), let me know - or better yet, fix it.
