Not sure why you find this so surprising.  Install the 2.2.x sources and
you will have the gdb sources that built the original gdb.  If you want
to update that to 4.17 or higher, use CVS to find the changes from the
vendor branch and you will then have our modifications.  Alternately, you
could get the RCS files for 2.2.x's GDB and do a vendor import of 4.17
and fix the merge conflicts.
