GDB 3.1.1 doesn't grok `long int', `unsigned int', etc.
(It takes only `long', `unsigned', `short', etc.)
Since `unsigned', `short', and `long', are type-modifiers,
not types, GDB should certainly accept their use in that capacity.
Also, GDB 3.1.1 treats unknown externals as type `char'.
For example, "p errno" prints one byte of the 4 in the `int' value.
"p read" prints the first byte in the code of the `read' function.
I think these should be treated as addresses of unknown type:
(gdb) p errno
{unknown} 0x2525
similar to
(gdb) p foo_func
{int ()} 0x5252
