I cannot say anything about dosemu-0.66.7 as it is very old and I'm not
going to test it at all. At least official binaries of DJGPP port of
gdb-4.16 is running for me under DOSEMU-0.99.5   (Linux-2.2.0-pre6,
egcs-1.1.1, etc.). If You don't want to mess with development versions of
dosemu, then try to upgrade to 0.98.5  (see http://www.dosemu.org for more
details)
