I have GNU 3.5 running on a SPARCserver with SunOS 4.1.  It works great
except if you try single-step over a library function, it follows the
subroutine call.  It jumps into 'etext()' somewhere, where there's no
line number info, obviously.  I tried using both step and next...  both
have this problem.  Could delayed branching have something to do with
it?
