systemstate dump using gdb

Solaris 9
Oracle 9.2.0.4

Does anyone have instructions on using gdb to generate a systemstate dump?
Metalink note 121779.1 outlines using dbx, but I can't find anything using gdb.
Note 273324.1 using gdb on hp-ux specifies
   gdb $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle pid
then stepi then ksudss

The dbx instructions specify
  % dbx -a 28348
then ksudss

From the tar, Oracle is requesting systemstate dump against a running
process.  So specifying oracle.exe on the gdb line seems wrong to me. 
The instructions for dbx seem more accurate, but I don't know how to
attach to, then specify the process.

(The database is freezing up, unable to make any kind of connetion. 
I'm trying to get a systemstate dump against one of the running
processes.  To make matters worse, this is an mts system, so I'm
trying to attach to one of the s000 server processes.)

Thanks for any help.
