(sorry to post to gnu.misc.discuss, but this follows up a message I
posted there earlier.)  I have found out some stuff since my last
message.  It seems that the problem was with the loader I am using.
When I compile with the profiling flag (-pg) I get the message that
it can't find libc_p.a, because this file happens not to be installed
on our system.  When I provide a libc_p.a I get the message

  ld: _DYNAMIC bootstrapping not available: use -Bstatic.
  collect: /usr/bin/ld returned 4 exit status

If I install gnu ld instead of collect2 I can get a working
program, but it has the gdb "next" problem I described in
my previous message.  Loading with -static causes it to list
a bunch of assembler symbols as unresolved.

I will see if using gnu libc helps.
