I would encourage you to checkout development sources, as described on 
the Download page (scroll down to "CVS"):

CVS: Check out a read-only copy of the trunk of the GDB CVS repository:

    cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src login
    [enter "anoncvs" as the password]
    cvs -z9 -d :pserver:anoncvs@sourceware.org:/cvs/src co insight

This is what I use on a daily basis. GDB typically keeps the sources in 
good shape, although we are just after a release, and big patches are 
going in to work out the problems.

Nonetheless, you can always grab the 7.3 release of gdb and slap a 
similar vintage src/gdb/gdbtk folder into the build.

I *really* should do another release. Maybe your problems will encourage 
me to do so. [If I do, I'll let you know!]
