oops, cut'n'paste error from the log file -- sorry!
yes. that's a (W)arning in line 352, don't care;)
the real error msg was this one -- fix is in my last mail:
"gdb-CVS-20100222/gdb/aix-thread.c", line 651.14: 1506-343 (S) Redeclaration of getthrds differs from previous declaration on line 904 of "/usr/include/procinfo.h".

(gdb) set target infrun 1
Ambiguous set command "target infrun 1": target-async, target-charset, target-wide-charset.
so:
(gdb) set debug infrun 1
(gdb) r

infrun: resume (step=0, signal=0), trap_expected=0

infrun: target_wait (-1, status) =
infrun: 356558 [process 356558],
infrun: status->kind = exited, status = 9
infrun: infwait_normal_state
infrun: TARGET_WAITKIND_EXITED
Program exited with code 011.

ah, I just notice that bp #1 got disabled (likely because of that "Error in re-setting breakpoint 1: Cannot access memory at address 0x0").
instead of a 2nd "b main" it also works to enable #1 with "en b 1" ...

yes, our gdb-6.8 binary works just fine for me on AIX 5.1++ ...
