[net.unix-wizards] Symbol Tables for sdb

We found that the only way to find out what sdb requires is to read the
code for sdb.  Even the compiler experiments you suggest fail because a)
the compiler doesn't do everything, and  b) the compiler has bugs in it.

Speaking of bugs, has anybody done any significant work on sdb?  I have
had tremendous problems with bogosities in sdb, such as not being able
to break on single-line functions, occasionally getting the symbol table
completely screwed up, and not being able to use the S command when
there are two function calls on the same line of a function.  I can use
sdb for System III and/or for 4.1bsd.
