Re: Problem about install gdb5.0 configured with WDB support undercygwin.

I think you would have much better luck on the gdb mailing list.  As such,
I have redirected this discussion there (gdb at sources dot redhat dot
com)...

explaining who Mr. Till is and where this patch came from would probably
help.

xdr functions are related to the Sun RPC library.  Check to see if you
have the sunrpc package installed and read:

/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/sunrpc-4.0-2.README

to see if that helps.  Try linking with -lrpclib.
