The documentation for the Gnu debugger gdb claims
it can be used to debug modula-2 programs, but I've
been unable to use it for source-level debugging of
programs compiled by Sun's Modula-2 compiler under
SunOS 4.1.x (dbx works fine w/ such programs).
I'd greatly appreciate any ideas on how this might
be made to work.

Even better, has anyone used gdb under Solaris 2.x
to debug programs with embedded DWARF-format debug info,
such as the binaries produced by EPC's modula-2
compiler?  Ultimately, it would be wonderful if it were
possible to use gdb to debug mixed-language programs
linking a bunch of .o files, some generated from .c files
by gcc (configured somehow for DWARF output) and the
remainder generated from .mod files from EPC's modula-2
compiler (which has DWARF output only).  I suppose it
would be ok if I could use EPC's debugger to debug such
mixed-language programs as well; anyone know about that?
