Andris Pavenis (andris.pavenis AT iki DOT fi) would be the guy to ask since he built 6.8 with DJGPP 2.04 beta.

I have no idea, but perhaps GDB68A.ZIP is what you want??

I'm pretty sure you need LFNs, which although possible in real DOS, is probably lots easier under XP.

You should also consider e-mailing Eli Z. (eliz AT gnu DOT org) since he is working on upcoming GDB 7.0, and he already has it compiling and working for him (and he uses XP, BTW).
