This is release 4 of the port of GNU debugger (GDB) 7.2 to MSDOS/DJGPP.

   GDB is a source-level debugger for C, C++, Pascal, Objective-C and many
   other languages.  GDB can target (i.e., debug programs running on) more
   than a dozen different processor architectures, and GDB itself can run
   on most popular GNU/Linux, Unix and Microsoft Windows variants.


   DJGPP specific changes.
   =======================
   - The only purpose of this release is to make available a DJGPP port of GDB
     compiled with DJGPP 2.05 that still offers COFF debug info support to some
     extend to be considered as still operational (aka usable).
     Any newer version of GDB no longer has a working COFF debug info support
     and cannot be used for such a purpose!

   - To produce binaries with COFF debug info support the DJGPP port of gcc 3.4.6
     must be used.  It can be download from the ftp server as:
       http://www.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/gcc346b.zip
     No other DJGPP port of gcc compiled with DJGPP 2.05 provides this capability!
     The used binutils port is almost arbitrary but it should be one compiled
     with DJGPP 2.05.

   - The binaries have been produced out-of-the-box compiling the sources from
     gdb72sr2.  The sources have been configured and compiled using djdev205,
     bnu226br3 and gcc346.

   As usual, all djgpp specific files (build.sh, diffs, README files, etc.)
   are located in the /djgpp directory.  The suorces have not been configured.

   For further information about GDB please read the info docs and NEWS file.




   The port consists of the usual four packages that have been compiled
   using stock djdev205 and that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com
   and mirrors as (time stamp 2016-04-30):
