We recently moved to SunOS 4.0 on a Sun4/260.
Using gdb v3.1.2 to debug a g++-cross-compiler for a custom processor,
the debugger seems to "erroneously" assume that there is only one
frame. It does not report the outer frames which led to the kill().
(A script is shown below.)

The cross-compiler (the program being debugged) was compiled with
gcc v1.35. We checked it and found that it was statically linked
as required by gdb. "file" says that:
cc1plus:        sparc demand paged executable not stripped

I remember a posting for a similar problem before, but unfortunately
I discarded it. So any help on this problem will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance... Amante
