One of the new things in the 4.3 BSD "tahoe" release is a much-modified version of pcc. I'm currently running it on a VAX 750 (sigh). I'm also trying to bring up gdb 3.0 . Unfortunately, the stabs output has changed enough that this is proving very difficult. In particular, 1) tahoe pcc now actually does emit "N_FN" stabs. Actually, it emits filename stabs which are "N_FN | N_EXT" (for some reason). gdb 3.0 will die the first time it sees one of these. 2) If you fix (1) by telling it to ignore the offending stabs, it will report that some programs contain "no debugging information". This is probably because it does not do an "N_SO" stab in libg.a ala the recent problem report on Sequents, but I haven't had much of a chance to investigate yet. Question: Before I go crashing merrily through the source trying to fix gdb to work with tahoe pcc, has/is anybody else done/doing this? I'd sure be psyched by any help anyone could offer...
