[fpc-pascal] Which gdb version to use?

[Pierre Free Pascal]

  Hi Martin,

  I happen to have the whole series of official
GDB releases compiled for i386-linux 
from 6.1a up to 7.8.1.
  I found only 7.6, 7.6.1 and 7.6.2 that show your
problem.
  With 7.7, 7.7.1, 7.8 and 7.8.1
I do get 
Type RECTY has no component named C.

Did you try to use 7.7 or later release?

Pierre
