I got lots of messages like: Global symbol `__7fixed32' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab Global symbol `IntOf__7fixed64' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab Global symbol `__7fixed64' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab Global symbol `__ml__FG7fixed32T0' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab Global symbol `__ml__FG7fixed64T0' only found in ..(path)..\Inos_typ.cpp psymtab Is this something to worry about? Does this indicate wrong debug info or an error in gdb? If it's nothing to worry about what's the use of these messages? Only for gdb interna? This is a gdb 6.5 cross-compiled with cygwin on WinXP for ppc. I:\cyghome\data\gdb-6.5\gdb>gdb --readnow GNU gdb 6.5 ..(GPL)... This GDB was configured as "--host=i686-pc-cygwin --target=powerpc-eabi". Setting up the environment for debugging gdb. No symbol table is loaded. Use the "file" command. No symbol table is loaded.

Are these warnings something to worry about? Thanks bye Fabi
