It seems that (in gdb-4.5) we cannot print variables with the
following syntax :

	filename::variable

The gdb-4.5 documentation says :

FUNCTION::VARIABLE works, but not FILE::VARIABLE. Do you know if this
is aleady fixed in gdb-4.6 ? If not, Do you have a fix ? I am willing
to work on that...

Let me know your comments.

PS: The following shows the problem :

psi:/usr2/pierre:cat pw.c

static int foo = 5;

main()
{

}
psi:/usr2/pierre:gcc -g -o pw pw.c
psi:/usr2/pierre:gdb pw
