There's a port for gdb-4.17 sitting on my ftp site at:

  ftp://ftp.pcnet.com/users/eischen/FreeBSD/gdb-4.17-port.tar.gz

The port includes changes made to the gdb in our base system
(then, Mar 1999, it was gdb-4.15 I believe).  I haven't made
any further updates to it since.  You're welcome to play around
with it.
