[gnu.emacs] Emacs' gdb-mode versus GCC's -gg option

montnaro@sprite.crd.ge.com (Skip Montanaro) (11/18/89)

I noticed today that the -gg option to gcc (v. 1.36) apparently doesn't
insert line number information into the debug symbol table. Hence, gdb (3.4)
doesn't spit out line number information for gdb-mode in Emacs. What is the
benefit to -gg versus -g? The gcc Info file doesn't say much about -gg other
than that it is gdb's own format and requires gas and gnuld to work.
