An updated MIPS port of gdb is now available.
Patches are on pokey.cs.wisc.edu in the the pub/gdb-3.5-mips-diff.Z.
The diffs are relative to the official gdb-3.5 release.

Improvements (of the mips port):
* Much better support for debugging excutables without symbol
tables. Can now do a stack trace even on a stripped binary,
using heuristics by Alessando.Forin@spice.cs.wisc.edu.
* Many fixes the in dis-assembler (thanks to Frank Yellin at Lucid).
* Less screen-intensive "info registers".
* I believe I fixed most of the bugs when passing parameters
to a function called in the debuggee (as in 'print f(x)').
(The only known problem is when passing structures greater
than 4 bytes long. I currently always align them on even
word boundaries, even when mips cc doesn't. Of course,
the mips convention causes stdarg.h/varargs.h to break...)
* Various minor bugs-fixes.
