Might be an API change somewhere?! Doesn't seem likely that this should suddenly fail.

In fact, I don't even do anything related to releases -- the (very) kind gdb folk do it for me. (Thanks, Andrew! :-) Nonetheless, you're right: the best approach is to build something new. Since 6.0 is due out "any day now" (so that means anytime in the next month or two or three), I would encourage you to try this on 6.0. If problems exist with 6.0, gdb developers will certainly want to know about it. Good luck, Keith
