    Actually, the only advantage to gcc -gg is faster startup than
  with -g (the data structures are put in gdb format by gcc, so no
  processing needs to be done).  I'm attempting to address this
  problem with delayed readin of dbx symbol information.  If I succeed
  in making startup blindingly fast, we may do away with -gg format
  entirely.

    Meanwhile, I haven't been worrying too much about keeping -gg
  format working.  Specifically, it doesn't work for gdb 3.0.  So if
  you are using 3.0, stick with -g.
