Subject: updated gdb source

Hi,

I've been using insight for a number of years and it's great. Thank you!

I recently installed Centos 6 on a development machine and, although 
insight will build, it will no longer run properly. After some 
investigation I discovered that some patches had been made to the 
dwarf2read.c and related sources in the gdb distribution due to the fact 
that the int/uint definitions had changed with new versions of gcc. I 
applied one patch and got insight to run, or at least not seg fault on 
loading a program, only to get an error message down the road about an 
'unhandled dwarf expression opcode' when I tried to open the watch window.

So the problem seems to be that the gdb version distributed with the 
source is too old. Brilliantly, I thought of replacing it with a newer 
gdb source distribution. Unfortunately, that broke the build, and I have 
thrown in the towel.

Is there any way to get an updated source version with fresh gdb code 
that will build?

I would be eternally grateful if so.

Thanks,

Lisa McIlrath
