Problem with gdb-5.0 on sparc-sun-solaris2.7

[Kick Damien-DKICK1 <DKICK1 at motorola dot com>]

I'm having a problem with gdb-5.0 (see details below) which appears to
be very similiar to problem reported in the mailing list
<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2000-07/msg00110.html> with the
difference that I am not attempting to use a GUI interface.  Any
ideas?

    % cat test.cc
    int main() { int i = 69; }
    % g++ -v
    Reading specs from ...
    gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
    % gdb -v
    GNU gdb 5.0

    % g++ -g test.cc -o test
    % uname -a

    % ./test
    % gdb test

    /proc/7276: Resource temporarily unavailable.
    init_inferior: wait_for_stop failed
    (gdb) quit
    The program is running.  Exit anyway? (y or n) y
    % gdb --nw test

    (gdb) quit

    % 

'truss'ing the running 'gdb' shows that the failure in '/proc' comes
from an attempt to 'open' '/proc/pid/status' that fails with EAGAIN.
