>Description:
GDB in base of both FreeBSD 6 and 5 is ancient. Is there a good reason to keep such an old version? Still having 6.1.1 (which is at least 2 years old, i.e. ancient) in times of 6.4 seems odd. Not to mention it doesn't work very well (see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=95691).

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Update the base GDB to newest or provide a working port.

Responsible-Changed-When: Thu Oct 20 01:39:13 UTC 2011 
Responsible-Changed-Why:  
Unassign; I have no current plans to bring in a newer gdb.  However 
there is a later GPLv2 version available - 6.6.  If it's a very small 
effort it is worth bringing it in, but it's looking like lldb is 
becoming the viable path forward.
