Thanks, I compiled up 2.2.2, which fixed the problem. However, I am getting
the following error when running gdb (NeXT Release 2.0 (v19) -- GNU version
3.1) on a c++ program compiled with gcc:

(gdb) run
Starting program: /user/otto/src/iv/src/bin/dclock/NeXT/a.out
Invalid symbol data: invalid character \073 at symbol pos 33.

If I compile the source modules with the -gstabs option, this complaint
goes away, along with most of the useful debug info for C++ programs. So,
I grabbed the latest version of gdb (4.6) and tried to configure it for
the NeXT:

*** Gdb does not support host m68k-next-bsd

Is there plans to add next support (back) into gdb?
