After searching a bit, I decided it should work as is. (with the workaround
that one links the IDE externally and some minor linklib related patches in
gdbinit). 

I retried, and zapped the installed snapshot's gdbint to be sure, and now it
worked.  Funky, but at least if it was my fault, it is a FPC problem, not
GDB.  The strange part is that in my snapshot build logs (and gdbver.inc ) I
could see that the correct gdb version was chosen (v7), yet somehow for
linking other .o's  were used!?!

Anyway, all's right now,

I uploaded the result to ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/contrib/libgdb/
in case people want to test.
