Is there a reason that an ancient version of GDB is in use for ltib ?

[mattcompton]

Currently we are having some issues with GDB while trying to debug some C++ code. We have tracked this to a bug in GDB 6. GDB 6.6 is an ancient version. Are there known problematic issues with a more modern (say within the last 5 years) version of GDB that prevents it from being used ? If someone has used a more modern GDB version, should it be possible to simply port and add it as an ltib package ?

I don't think there is a reason other than "nobody did it." I have ported and used GDB 7.2 to LTIB before. It's actually fairly trivial. I can't find my old spec file though.
