I'm running GNAT GDB 3.15p on windows. I have 2 programs that link to the same dll. GDB is able to debug the dll with program A, but with program B, when I run GDB, it crashes loading the symbols for program B with this error, BFD: BFD internal error, aborting at coffcode.h line 749 in styp_to_sec_flags I don't want to debug program B, since it is C++, I just want to debug the DLL which is written in ADA. Is there any way I can tell GDB to not worry about reading in symbols for anything besides the DLL, so that I can debug again? Here's what a session looks like, gdb dellell.dll b file.c:1 exec-file programB r arguments BFD: BFD internal error, aborting at coffcode.h line 749 in styp_to_sec_flags Thanks, Bob Rossi
