gdb 4.7 problems on HP 9000/720

I am trying to install gdb 4.7 on an HP 9000/720 using the native
cc, and I have hit a few snags.

1) No matter what I do, the configure script will not descend into
subdirectories.  The config.status reports that the -norecursive
flag was used, but I definitely did not set that flag.

2) After manually configuring all of the subdirectories for
hp9k720, I get two errors when building gdb.  The first error is a
declaration mismatch for millicode_start and millicode_end.  I
changed the declarations in bfd/libhppa.h to 'unsigned int' to
agree with CODE_ADDR.

The second error is in hppa.c.  The initializer for hppa_vec is
missing a field, namely the 'symbol_leading_char' field.  I have
tried both 0 and '_' for this field, either of which allows gdb to
compile and link, but...

3) The resulting gdb runs and I can access the help system.
However, it refuses to run the program that I am trying to debug,
and it claims that there are no symbols, even though xdb can find
them (and in fact, finds the symbols in gdb itself.)

I would appreciate any help with these problems.  Thanks.
