I finally got gdb working with 1.11's new external debugger API.  This
should work with any 1.11 release, but you'll need the farptr module
installed (1.11.maint5 will) to rebuild from sources.  This version is
EXPERIMENTAL and is based on hacked sources (I didn't even use -O to
build these binaries).  I'll be doing a clean port from the latest
sources soon for simtel.  This version exists so that people can play
with it, fix bugs, and help port new features to it.

This is a replacement for edebug, and has some of the same drawbacks
about program loading - go32 loads it, and you can run it only once
per gdb invokation.  Arguments to "run" are ignored.  You still use
"go32 -d gdb" to run, although batch files are included.

-rw-r--r--   3498399 Mar 28 16:18 gdb-src-4.12a.tar.gz

You'll need to use gunzip and djtarx to extract these (sorry, zip
wasn't available at the time).  The `a' means this is my first
released port.

If you need more help getting and using this, you probably should wait
for the clean port, which will have documentation and will fit into
the djgpp system better.

Enjoy!
