Hi,

I think I've answered my own question.  A google search found Adam's patch 
of last August, so I downloaded gdb and started the build/patch/build 
process.  After getting that started, I took a look at the GDB mailing list 
archive at the RedHat site and found recent messages about 
Objective-C.  _Then_ I took a look at the code in the cvs snapshot and 
found the Objective-C support _is_ there.

This is fan-tucking-astic!  I've been waiting for real gdb support of 
Objective-C since I stopped using OpenStep 4 yrs ago and started using 
Linux/GNUstep.  This is wonderful!
