We just compiled gcc version 2.1 on a SUN SPARC 1+ computer and noticed the
folowing problem when using dbx:

% dbx trans
Reading symbolic information...
dbx: internal error: unexpected value 38 at line 2620 in file ../common/object.c
%
The program will debug ok with gdb.
The program follows:

/* #define MAX 80  */
const int MAX = 80; 

main ( )
{
  char from[MAX];

} /* main */

An extremely simple program. If the define is uncommented and the const
commented the dbx is ok. Is this a problem with dbx or with gcc?
We use dbx instead of gdb because dbx allows strings to be printed during
debugging.
