No, just edit tm.h (Option i386-sysv) and #undef SDB_DEBUGGING_INFO

Yes you DON'T want sdb or dbx debugging infos or you have to hack the gcc
to produce x.out code instead of COFF.
Xenix sdb can't debug COFF output.

I would love to use GDB under Xenix - anyone have a working port.
I'm not finished yet - hopefully next week.
