AFAIK librdbg can't be used with a modern gdb.  The internal structure of
gdb changed and no one has updated the code.  IMO this means that rdbg
is becoming obsolete and you are better off using the standard gdb remote
protocol and stubs.

Till Straumann has some nice support for gdb with dynamically loaded modules
at his site. Google for "Till cexp" and it will turn up.  Maybe Till 
will add some
comments here. :)
