I'm trying to compile gdb 5.2 with gcc 2.95.3, glibc 2.1.3, and I'm getting
the following error:
gcc -c -g -O2 -I. -I. -I./config -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I./../include/opcode

I tried doing a search on gdb and "cannot convert to a pointer type," but
nothing useful came up. Has anyone tried to do this? Am I going to have to
use gcc 3.x for this? :(
