"make CFLAGS=-gdwarf" I get similar three messages "During symbol reading ..." with gdb 6.0 operating on gdb 6.0, and also gdb 5.3 operating on gdb 5.3. > What are the results if the testsuite is run? I already posted this link from February 2003: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2003-02/msg00293.html I will do it again with gdb 6.1 but it will take some time. > Or to look at it another way, when was the last time (other than SCO's > 5.1) that anyone saw a working dwarf-1 GDB? It looks like gdb is working, with some glitches, and the test suite has been busted for a while. Michael C
