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. -randy --
