Perhaps it is not so difficult to get them from source archive.
I'll take a look when I'll have time.

Setting breakpoint to procedure which has no debug info failed in:
     - old GDB versions for DJGPP
     - at least version 6.5 under Linux (CentOS-5.2). For Linux upgrade
       to 6.8 fixed the problem.
When I attempted to set breakpoint to some C procedure I got a message
that it has been set somewhere in libstdc++.
