  Hi,

    I'm running gcc 2.1 and gdb4.6 under SunOS 4.1.2 on a 
  Sparcstation IPX.  When trying to debug one program
  that I have, I set a breakpoint at line 54 and then 
  run the program.  When gdb encounters the breakpoint
  it says it is at line 58, and the code pointer is
  on line 58, but the code being executed is from line
  54.

    As you can imagine, this is very confusing !  I have
  been unable to isolate the problem and get it to occur
  in any other programs that I have.

    Does anyone know if this is a known problem in 
  GCC 2.1 that has been fixed in 2.2.2 ?  I don't
  really want to switch compilers in the middle of a
  project if I can help it, but if this is fixed in
  2.2.2, then I'll switch.
