Can I use old gcc?

[Thomas Doerfler]

Hello Leon,

some time ago i ran into the same problems as you, 
and I HAVE built a gdb-5.3 with powerpc bdm 
support (actually running as "powerpc-linux-gdb"). 
I used it to debug a mbx860 target. If you like I 
can send you either the binary for linux, or a 
patch to the sources.

wkr,
	Thomas.
