Ken,

You aren't doing anything "wrong" with GDB, it's just that most DG
patches haven't been incorporated into the baseline gdb-4.X sources.

In the past two years, DG has put considerable effort into GDB on
our 88K platform.  Basing our effort on GDB 3.6, we've added
incremental symbol reading for COFF debugging, and (for DGUX) we've
added support for watchpoints and attach/detach.  We also added "tdesc"
support, which means that some degree of debugging information is present
even when the user doesn't use "-g" while compiling.  We've had a 
terrific response from our GDB users.

You can get our gdb stuff via anonymous ftp on dg-rtp.dg.com.
Go into the pub/gnu/gdb directory, and you'll see:

gdb-dg.3.6.9.12.tar.Z and gdb-for-5.x-tar.Z

The former is the source tree for a gdb that will debug COFF
on DGUX 4.3X or 5.4X systems.  The latter contains two gdb
executables, one for debugging COFF and one for ELF, on 5.4X systems
(they "chain" so that if you bring up the coff gdb while you're in
an elf environment, the coff gdb invokes the elf gdb, and vice versa).
If you have any questions/comments, feel free to email me directly
at schnoor@dg-rtp.dg.com.

Thanks, and Good Luck!
