gcc-3.2.1 with a basic hellow world (though any test program works the
same

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  printf("hellow world\n");
 /* A a number of prints here  */
#ifdef __dec
  printf("__dec is defined\n");
#else
  printf("__dec is NOT defined\n");
#endif
/* Put in a bunch of variable defined tests as above */

.
.
.

}

That is all

compile with 

gcc -g testit.c -o testit

gdb testit


I did not run the test suite (gmake check) on the gdb installation.
