That is because gdb in the current version of GNAT/DOS is run from the
DOS extender go32, like:

	go32 -d gdb <your coff file>

Note that gdb needs a /coff/ file, not an exe file. If the latter is all
you have, use exe2coff <your_exe> to retrieve it. Otherwise compile and link
like:

	gcc -c -g <your_program>.adb
	gnatbl -g <your_program>.ali

to get both an exe file and a coff file with debugging info.

Hope this helps,
Jerry
