What do mean "along side"?  Please don't import src/contrib/gdb6.  Import
it just as src/contrib/gdb.  We've see what a mistake that turns into!
If you don't think gdb6 is readly, have poeple pound on it thru the
ports.

I have ports/devel/gdb6 working with full kernel debugging already.  I
just need to get cvs@ to repo copy a few patches before I can commit it.

GDB 6 will work fine with --enable-64-bit-bfd, there is nothing to do.
