Re: No source file named getopt.c.

[Fei Ding <fdingiit@gmail.com>]

I am debugging gdb using gdb, I want to know how gdb handle the
command "gdb filename options", and I've traced to the code of
gdb/main.c, which is main.c:captured_main(), and I lost myself when
step into getopt_long_only() near line 520 (gdb-7.6)
