Building gdb on 64bit solaris

[Andrew Cagney]

Could you please download than try GDB 5.2 or better a current snapshot 
of GDB.  See http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/current/ .  From other 
comments, it apparently doesn't build.  However, if you can post the 
details or look closer, it may be possible to figure out what is going 
wrong.
