I realize that this may not be the right newsgroup, but I couldn't
find a more appropriate one, so apologies in advance.
	I just compile gcc 2.5.7 and gdb 4.11, and I'm having some
trouble with gdb.  Basically, I try to run gdb on a binary compiled
with my system's native C compiler (using the -g flag), and when I try
to list the source, I get a message about .file not being found.  If I
compile the program with gcc, gdb works fine.  Now, does gdb support
xcoff format (I'm on an RS/6000).  Obviously it does, since gcc
produces xcoff output as well.  So, is there a flag that I forgot to
specify when I compiled gdb?
	Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,
