See: WDB support for the vxWorks target
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-05/msg00041.html
It would affect the files:
cagney@nettle$ ls *vx*
remote-vx.c remote-vx68.c remote-vxmips.c remote-vxsparc.c
vx-share:
CVS ptrace.h vxWorks.h xdr_ld.h xdr_rdb.c
README regPacket.h wait.h xdr_ptrace.c xdr_rdb.h
dbgRpcLib.h vxTypes.h xdr_ld.c xdr_ptrace.h
Only thing is, there have been recent bug reports (against 5.1.1 mind):
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl?cmd=view%20audit-trail&database=gdb&pr=329
The current code, which is heavily dependant on deprecated_registers[],
needs a serious upgrade.

Actually, WRS' supplyed version of GDB uses WTX now. The communication
over WDB is handled by the target server.

we are still using RDB & Sandvine. Not sure how many other
people still use it. VxWorks is something people don't update the
core of too rapidly. VxWorks 5.3 is basically the same as VxWorks 5.2.
RDB is not actually removed from 5.3, its just not configured on
by default.
Our reason for using RDB was there was no WDB support in the standard gdb
distribution, and we'd switched to gcc 3 stream, which windriver-supplied
gdb (4.13 I think) didn't understand the debug format of at all for C++.
I suspect most people using vxworks are also using the windriver-supplied
versions of gdb/gcc, which are (as of a couple of years ago), using WDB.
