Thank you kindly for your rapid response time and advice.

Unfortunately the following, suggested by Steve, failed:

cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb
make cleandir ; make depend ; make all

I crashed after:

I also tried blowing away the gnu/usr.bin/gdb level directory, then sup the
sources again.  No dice.  Still get:

<< f-typeprint.o f-valprint.o nlmread.o callback.o i386-dis.o dis-buf.o
disassembl
e.o  -L/usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/gdb/gdb/../bfd -lbfd -lreadline  -lgnuregex -L/usr/s

b/gdb/../libiberty -liberty
make: don't know how to make gdb.1. Stop
*** Error code 2>>

Guess I should take out a higher level directory, or simply resup the entire
source tree?  I do this at 28.8K, but it's a relatively stable connection and
not a problem.                                  

Regards.
