There is gdb 5.0 in the experimental Simple 0.2a set. You can try it
at ftp://oss.sgi.com/pub/linux/mips/mips-linux/simple/userland-0.2a/.
Note that this is glibc 2.2 based and may be highly unstable.
Nevertheless, it's what I'm currently using and I can verify that gdb
works. You may also be able to build gdb 4.17 or so from CVS on your
glibc 2.0 system; I don't know.
