It applies cleanly for me (tonight) if I do
apt-get source gdb
patch -p0 < gdp.patch
cd gdb-4.18.19990928
./debian/rules binary
I can also do it if I
tar -xzf gdb_4.18.19990928.orig.tar.gz
zcat gdb_4.18.19990928-1.diff.gz | patch -p0
patch -p0 < gdp.patch
It's quite odd that it's not working for you... has anyone else tried and had
it apply or fail? I can build fine, and at least one other person has
confirmed the patched gdb to be working correctly, though I think that that
person was using my binary deb. Did the patch come through OK wrt. linefeeds,
etc? There are some long lines there...
I also see some URL-encoded characters (<, ") in the email as posted in
the bug archive - your mailer decoded them, right? Otherwise, the patch is
available (gzipped) on http://southpole.penguinpowered.com/, along with
binaries. That site can be down if my computer is not on&in linux, but that's
rare.
