: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

    Considering that this does not impact code quality at all, I think
    it's an excellent interim solution.
