Was it really 1999? Anyway, before sourceware.org got started, the
only revision controlled history was in Cygnus's private CVS
repository. That was mixed in with various NDA'd stuff, including
some in the core files of GDB, so we couldn't publish the whole
history without a lot of work sanitizing it.
So, I don't think there's any way for you to get history farther back.
