Re: GDB internal error: pc in psymtab, not in symtab

[Steven Johnson <sjohnson@sakuraindustries.com>]

I suggest you read this thread:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2006-06/msg00085.html

It may be the cause of your problem, as it is the cause of this warning 
for me.

I simply comment out the code referred to in this post and this warning 
goes away for me.  I can't come up with a better way to deal with it.  
Of course if you also have .linkonce sections in your program, you are 
probably hosed.
