I tested the patch in bin/7565 with the gdb source from 1.4 and it does
not fix the problem:

# /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/gdb arm-unknown-netbsd1.4/nsyslogd 
...
This GDB was configured as "arm--netbsd"...
(gdb) break main

(gdb) run -dvf trivial

(gdb) 
625                     progname++;
(gdb)

(gdb)

Or at least doing a "make includes" in usr/src/gnu and "make" in the
usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb directory did not generate a `fixed' gdb.

Has anyone else tested the patch in bin/7565 and had it work for them ?
