well, not much response here, is there something obvious I might have missed reading< perhaps?

is it perhaps so that if I want a gdb for sparc64-linux, I'll have to
have more than just binutils and gcc for sparc64-linux, such as
ncurses and/or termcap?

it'd sure be fine to get something on pr c++/8183 but I need to get
gdb working properly I guess...
