i have tried compiling both gdb-5.0 and gdb+dejagnu-20010413.  both times,
configure seems to run mostly through, then at the end i get:

checking for tgetent in -ltermlib... yes
checking for X... libraries /usr/X11R6/lib, headers /usr/X11R6/include
configure: error: *** Gdb does not support host i386-unknown-openbsd2.8
Configure in /tmp/gdb+dejagnu-20010413/gdb failed, exiting.

so i guess i'm stuck with 4.16?  but i'd suggest putting the error at the
top.  then i wouldn't have to watch configure run through for several
minutes to learn that it can't finish anyway.
