AFAIK, you'll have to get the GDB 4.16 sources, and the latest patch (gdb-4.16.gnat.1.13.diff.gz) from ftp://cs.nyu.edu/pub/gnat/gdb/ and build it yourself. The instructions with the patch are fairly clear (except they don't mention that when you patch the gdb 4.16 source, you need to use the -p0 option) and it's all straightforward after that. It went pretty easy for me once I figured out the -p0 option when patching, though that might not be necessary on your setup (though if it is necessary on some, not even most or all systems, it _really_ should be included in the patch instructions...). This Ada-aware version of GDB isn't completely Ada-aware. It can't display the contents of records under some situations, and seems to be totally confused by nested procedures/functions. Apparently there's going to be a major improvement sometime in the not-too-distant future, but only the good people at ACT could tell you when it might become available (it's apparently being worked on, but that's all I know).
