FYI, gdb 5.1 cannot be used to debug a program compiled by gcc 3.2 when
DWARF2 debugging format is used (which is the default for i386 now if I'm not wrong).
This is because gdb 5.1/5.0 do not support the DW_FORM_strp that gcc now generates.
In the past, a gdb without Ada support could be used to, at least, see the source.
However, we are now in this sad situation where this is no longer possible
because now gdb complains at unknown languages and... stops.
Stephane
P.S: I'm willing to help if you send patches...
