Hi all,
like all readers of bugs@ know, gdb has currently problems with
reading gcc3 output. One solution is updating gdb to version 6,
an interims solution to specify "-gstabs" and thereforce force gcc
3.3 to generate the traditional stabs output.

Is it prefered to keep the current status quo or is it better to
(temporary) switch GCC 3 back to stabs output?

Joerg
