The 5307, using the Motorola Cadre III evaluation board (2 serial,
Ethernet, 16MB, 1MB flash.)  For what it's worth, I ran the 'chk' test 
application to make sure the libBDM.a archive was built correctly.

Yes.

Here's what I'm using to set up the board (symlinked to .gdbinit which 
is in the same directory as hello.exe):

    $ cat /usr/local/rtems/tools/gdb-4.18-bdm/gdbScripts/5307.gdb
    define setup-simregs
        set $mbar  = 0x10000001

        set $csar0 = 0x10000080
        set $csmr0 = 0x10000084
        set $cscr0 = 0x1000008a

        set $csar2 = 0x10000098
        set $csmr2 = 0x1000009c
        set $cscr2 = 0x100000a2

        set $csar3 = 0x100000a4
        set $csmr3 = 0x100000a8
        set $cscr3 = 0x100000ae

        set $dcr   = 0x10000100
        set $dacr0 = 0x10000108
        set $dmr0  = 0x1000010c
        set $dacr1 = 0x10000110
        set $dmr1  = 0x10000114
    end
    define setup-cs
        set *((short*)$csar0) = 0xffe0
        set *((short*)$cscr0) = 0x1180
        set *((long* )$csmr0) = 0x000f0001

        set *((short*)$csar2) = 0x0000
        set *((long* )$csmr2) = 0x00ff0001
        set *((short*)$cscr2) = 0x0100
    end
    define setup-dram
        set *((short*)$dcr)   = 0x822a
        set *((long* )$dacr0) = 0x00009404
        set *((long* )$dmr0)  = 0x007c0001
        set *((long* )$dacr1) = 0x00809404
        set *((long* )$dmr1)  = 0x007c0001
    end
    target bdm /dev/bdmcf0
    setup-simregs
    setup-dram
    setup-cs

I copied the DRAM controller register values from the dBUG monitor
(upgraded from the shipped v2e.1a.1a version):

Sounds like a good idea.  I'll download gdb-5.0 and apply the latest
BDM patch.  If I can get it to work, I'll take a stab at re-doing the
RTEMS patch for gdb-5.0.  Thanks for the help!
