I have just compiled gdb4.4 package with an old version of gcc (1.40).
I encounter a problem when compiling the examples using readline package.
fileman.c cannot load:
# make
cc -g -I../..  -target sun4 -c  fileman.c
cc -g -L.. -o fileman fileman.o -lreadline -ltermcap
Undefined
_xmalloc
_xrealloc
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `fileman'

gdb loads properly, because xmalloc is defined in utils.c with a number
of other procedures for gdb use only.

xmalloc and xrealloc are they defined in newer versions of gcc library ?
If not, is it possible to extract xmalloc and xrealloc from gdb without
problem for loading fileman with ? Is there somewhere a library exporting
only xmalloc and xrealloc, to supply with -lrealine ?

Besides, as I am mailing, I can quote another problem (there must be some
silly reason explaining it), line editing does not work, even after set
editing. (I am on a SS1). I must have missed something in the
documentation ? I think I have seen in the code, though, that line
editing is set by default ??

Thank you for your help,
