GDB 3.xx already supports COFF, though it may not support COFF for
your system yet.  I know this may be painful for somebody at Motorola,
but look at the 386 support, which does provide a COFF port.  Also,
the Data General 88k patches for GDB were COFF based.  The last I
looked, the DG patches were available via anonymous FTP from:

	Machine:	dg-rtp.dg.com
	IP address:	128.222.1.2
	Directory:	~ftp/pub/gnu
	Filename:	patch-gdb-3.4.tar.Z	(compressed)
