I recommend *not* getting pgdb.diff.Z,
but the newer gdb-3.5-mips-diffs.Z (which is relative to gdb 3.5).

More details:
Patches to make gdb 3.5 run on a DECstation (and probably
other MIPS-based machines) are available by anonymous FTP
from pokey.cs.wisc.edu in pub/gdb-3.5-mips-diffs.Z.
(A copy is also on gatekeeper.dec.com.)
They are in diff-form, without context (minor slip-up),
so patch cannot figure out the correct file to patch.
(You have to specify the filenaem, which should be
obvious from patch's prompting. You also have to
pre-create (with 'touch') the new mips-specific files.)
There are minor problems, but it works reasonably well.
I may or may not get around to working on it again;
if so, I will announce it on gnu.gdb,bug.
Gdb 4.0 will have mips support bundled in, though it
may be based on a different port.
