I had sent some earlier replies to Sean suggesting a couple of
workarounds.  These workarounds should no longer be necessary if you
build gdb with the current development sources from
sourceware.cygnus.com.

See http://sourceware.cygnus.com/gdb for more information on how to
download these sources.  (If you're going to download via ftp, you'll
want to wait for next week's snapshot as it will contain several
shared library fixes.)
