gcc and gdb on Sony News Mips 4.0.1 (gcc 2.0 bug?)

I have the following problem on Sony News Mips 4.0.1.

I managed to install gcc 1.40 without much problem. However, gdb 4.4 is unable
to look at the local variables on gcc 1.40 binaries.

I then read that gcc 2.0 was able to produce code (with -ggdb) which could be
inspected with gdb 4.4. Great... I need to install gcc 2.0.

Well...  I could not install gcc 2.0. It first breaks because of a double
definition (strerror in collect2.c). I fixed this problem by commenting the
code. But then it breaks (actually gcc itself dump a core with an explicit
abort in the handle_braces function) trying to make libgcc2.a while compiling
the _muldi3 part.

If anybody has managed to get a version of gcc and gdb both working on this
machine with the same system... I am really interested.

Thanks in advance,
