Part of the reason for the extra size in the new gdb is the chill parser, which isn't in 3.5, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff that I could remove if I wanted to. It won't work with netbsd yet, because when I decided to try to port it, the netbsd machine I have access to was dead :(. But maybe sometime this weekend.
