Problem with gdb using gas-1.38 on SysV.3 COFF.

I am running SCO ODT-1.1, gdb-3.6, gcc-1.40 and system supplied ld. I
was using gas-1.37 with COFF patches and tried gas-1.38 using the
COFF patches that were just recently released from ftp.cs.umb.edu.
Programs using the new gas works fine except that gdb fails to read
the symbol table at startup with "Error:Virtual memory exhausted.". I
took a simple program and compiled it using the gas-1.37 and with
gas-1.38.  I took the two resulting object files and looked at the
two object files and found that the one that was emitted by gas-1.38
had no line information. The symbol information was a little
different also.

Does anyone have gas-1.38 working on a386/SysV.3.2.2 and with gdb?
Please tell me what to do.

Makefile options follow:

O1 = # -DNO_VARARGS
O2 = # -DNON_BROKEN_WORDS
O3 = # -Dm68851
O4 = # -DEXEC_VERSION=1
O5 = # -DSIGTY=void
O6 = # -DNS32532
O6 = # -DNS32381
O7 =  -DDOT_LABEL_PREFIX
O9 =  -DREGISTER_PREFIX=\'%\'

G4 = # -DUSE_SYSTEM_HDR
G5 = # -DUSE_HP_HDR
G6 = # -DSUN_ASM_SYNTAX
G8 = # $(SPECIAL_GLOBAL_DEFINES)
B1 =  -DCOFF_OPTION=FALSE
B2 = # -DCOFF_OPTION=TRUE
B3 =  $(BACKEND_INCDIR_SPEC)
B4 = # -DM68K_NO_PCREL_RELOC
B5 = # -DBSD_STYLE_COFF_COMMON
