gdb 6.8.50-20080411-cvs

(gdb) break Target_sparc<32, true>::Scan::local
Can't find member of namespace, class, struct, or union named "Target_sparc<32, true>::Scan::local"
Hint: try 'Target_sparc<32, true>::Scan::local<TAB> or 'Target_sparc<32, true>::Scan::local<ESC-?>
(Note leading single quote.)

I mentioned the anonymous namespace surrounding all the code in sparc.cc,
because I think that's relevant to the problem.  And sure enough it is.

If I remove the "namespace {" and closing "}" from sparc.cc, the break
command above works properly.

I've tried things like prefixing the name with "::" and whatnot,
nothing works.
