 FWIW, this happens on 3.1_STABLE also:
 
 i386bsd-nat.c: In function `_initialize_i386bsd_nat':
 i386bsd-nat.c:422: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
 i386bsd-nat.c:435: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
 gmake[1]: *** [i386bsd-nat.o] Error 1
 
 NetBSD rhett 3.1_STABLE NetBSD 3.1_STABLE (RHETT) #2: Tue Nov 21
 19:56:27 EST 2006  dholland@rhett:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/RHETT
 i386
 
 The problem is that it uses struct sigcontext and struct sigcontext
 has been withdrawn.
 
 gdb6 builds, so maybe the easiest answer is to abandon gdb5 :-)
