Hi Michael Snyder, Kevin Buettner and Eric Bachalo.
First, I'd like to thank you all for helping me :-).

I downloaded the 1999/11/16 snapshot of insight but it didn't compile becouse
of the missing file. As I need LinuxThreads and remote debugging support
(gdbserver), could someone please give me a hint what snapshot should I
donwload? If insight doesn't work.. what version of plain gdb would work?
Btw.: Are there any differences between insight and gdb snapshots in
functionality? I was under impression gdb and insight are almost identical
except for the GUI part.

Is the patch Michael Snyder is talking about already aplied to the CVS (is it
in the snapshot I downloaded?) ? If not do you by any chance know where to get
it ? Or at least where to get pre-compiled gdb and/or insight and gdbserver for
intel linux ?

I did try the insight 1999/11/16 version but it failed to compile with:
cd gdb
./configure --prefix=/opt/insight
make
and then make complains:
--
make: *** No rule to make target `../bfd/bfd.h', needed by `blockframe.o'.
Stop.
--
The needed file doesn't exist.
gdbserver did compile, but I'm unsure if it works with gdb-4.17.0.14-1 (the
supposedly LinuxThreads enabled gdb version I ran into).
