Yesterday I asked about using gdb 4.7 to debug C++ code compiled using
gcc 2.3.1.  The answer was yes and thank you for those who answered me.

But this does not seems to be my case.  I have installed gcc 2.3.1 on SCO
ODT 1.1 together with libg++ 2.2 and gdb 4.7.  Whenever I try to debug a
C++ program, gdb prints out the following message and refuses to load the
program:

     Invalid symbol data: .bb/.eb symbol mismatch at symbol nnn.

where nnn is a number.

Apart from debugging, the program compiles well and runs well.  But it is
hard life to live without a debugger!  Any solution to this?  Please help!
