To expand a little.  GDB requires a compiler that can parse the ISO-C
syntax.  It, unfortunatly, can't assume things like ISO-C headers and
libraries.

GDB 4.18 contained one ISO-C function declaration/definition as a trial
to see if anyone complained.  Since then GDB 5.0 has become littered
with ISO-Cisms.  GDB 6.0 (scheduled for year 3k?) will be K&R clean.
