I suspect this problem is the one concerning structure tags in DBX
output that's mentioned in the 'Actual Bugs We Haven't Fixed Yet' info
node, but since the 'Interoperation' node implies that there are other
problems with the DBX format, I thought I'd pass this along in case it
helps.

Version: 2.2.2
Configuration: --target=sun4
Machine: Sun SPARCstation SLC
OS: Sun OS 4.1.1

Symptom: When a C source file is compiled with the -g option to produce
an executable, and Sun's dbx is invoked on the executable, it produces
this output:

Reading symbolic information...
dbx: internal error: 
Your executable file contains corrupt symbol information:
The debugger expected to find char '=', but found char '<nul>'.

This problem originated in compilation, assembly, archiving, or linking.
Rebuilding your program often clears this problem.

To investigate further, try shell command nm(2) to see symbols:
   nm -opa yourprog >somefile
'yourprog' is your executable file or object file or archive.
Edit somefile, and search for ''.

Debugger unable to proceed.
recompile, reassemble, rearchive, or relink, and try again.
 
	when processing stabs from source /usr/local/gnu/gcc/./libgcc2.c in hello 
[end of 'dbx' output]

The 'nm -pa' output follows, as well as the 'gcc -E' output.  When I ran
gdb 4.6 on the executable and tried to ptype each LSYM type, there were
several errors: (1) the long unsigned int, short unsigned int, long long
unsigned int, long double, long unsigned int, and long double types all
caused a "parse error" message; and (2) the reg_class and longlong types
caused a "No symbol ... in current context" error, unless enum reg_class
and struct longlong were ptype'd instead.

'nm -pa' output:
