Can you describe in more detail what is it that you want to accomplish, 
what GDB commands did you try to use and how did they fail?

GDB compiles OK for me.  Are you doing it under DJGPP v2 or v1.x?  If it's
v1.x, I can't help you; for v2 I just did what the makegdb.bat file in the
djgpp subdirectory tells you, and it worked.
