The version with 3.0 complains that it can't understand the format of an
a.out image. If you create a short C program, a la

#include <stdio.h>
void main(void)
  {
    printf("Hi!\n");
  }

and compile it a la:

cc -aout -g -o foo foo.c

Then go:

gdb foo

It will load gdb, then complain that the format is unrecognized....

As a "work around", I recompiled a copy from my 2.2.6 machine with -static
defined, and copied it over. It seems to work ok....
