   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.

What you want to do is to pickup the original set of coff patches that is
on ( or at least I think thy're on ) archive.ohio-state.edu in the gnu
directory there is a patch kit for gdb-3.5 to support the debugging
information supported in the COFF patch to gas-1.38.1

I will try to put the patch to gdb-3.5 on ftp.cs.umb.edu here soon.
