    Did you use the -Bstatic flag to cc?  Sun OS 4 supports shared
  libraries which GDB does not support, and sun makes their use the
  default.  To use GDB under Sun OS 4 you need to turn off the use of
  shared libraries by giving the -Bstatic flag to the loading pass of
  cc when compiling the program on which gdb will run.  

    If anyone would like to implement support for Sun shared libraries
  in a clean way (ie. that would make it easy for GDB to use the same
  code for other, different, implementations of shared libraries), we
  would probably be willing to merge the patches into the GDB
  distribution.
