When a function yields a value of type 'char', GDB 3.5 doesn't display the
returned value correctly (with GCC 1.37.1, GAS 1.36, Sparcstation 1+, SunOS
4.1).  Here is an example:

213-ata% cat t.c
char p() { return 1; }
main() { return p(); }
214-ata% gcc -g -v t.c
gcc version 1.37.1
 /local/lib/gcc-cpp -v -undef -D__GNUC__ -Dsparc -Dsun -Dunix -D__sparc__ -D__su
n__ -D__unix__ t.c /usr/tmp/cca13099.cpp
GNU CPP version 1.37.1
 /local/lib/gcc-cc1 /usr/tmp/cca13099.cpp -quiet -dumpbase t.c -g -version -o /u
sr/tmp/cca13099.s
GNU C version 1.37.1 (sparc) compiled by GNU C version 1.37.1.

Value returned is $1 = 0 '\000'



The value returned is actually 1, but GDB displays it as 0 in the last line of
the output above.
