The latest gdb build we have is 8.0 but I don't do the builds so I don't
know what the status is for anything newer.

As for wide chars, DJGPP has wchar_t and the required helper functions,
and that's about all the support we added.  I don't think I've ever seen
DJGPP produce anything beyond ASCII or the usual DOS code pages.
