Hello. I am Ben Teifeld, and I am an assistant sysop on the Chicago Public
Schools CPSNET bbs. I am responsible for bringing up utilities and helping
debug other software we use here. We are running a UNISYS 6000/75 with the
Dynix/ptx 1.3 operating system. This is a multiprocessor intel 486 machine.
I have been trying to get gdb 4.5 running. The configuration I supply to the
configure command is i386-coff-sysv.

I first needed to add #includes of our file <sys/mount.h> to get the DIRSIZ
definition for a few files that needed it. I also needed to get our
<sys/ttold.h> in combination with a #define in order to get the 'tc' structure
in that file equivalenced to become a 'tchars' structure. After effecting
these modifications, the program successfully compiled with GCC with the
-traditional option. I can run gdb, get a message indicating that it has
loaded the symbols in the executable file, and then get a command prompt
from gdb. The problem arises when I try to use the run command. I type 'run',
and then I am left with no further output. Ctrl-c cannot abort the program,
and I am at a loss for what to do. Is there a better configuration for me to
choose? Have you encountered anyone else with similar experience? All of us
here at the Board of Education would deeply appreciate any assistance you could
provide.
