g++ 2.3.2 / gdb 4.7 incompatible

On a sparc-sun-solaris2 (Solaris 2.1) g++-2.3.2 compiles libg++-2.2.91
in such a way that programs linked with the latter cause gdb-4.7 to emit
messages like:

   "Invalid symbol data: invalid character \073 at symbol pos 730".

Gdb trips on this one symbol, and thus is unusable on C++ programs.

While compiling libg++/iostreams, the compiler emitted a warning that
dbx format does not support templates yet; I don't know if the two
phenomena are related.
