SunOS 4.0.3 and 4.1,  Sun 4/110 or 4/65:

The use of pointers in Sun Fortran 1.2 seems to prevent the use of GDB.
For example, the following program:

      PROGRAM FOO
      IMPLICIT  UNDEFINED (A-Z)

      POINTER (P,V)
      CHARACTER A*12,V*12
      DATA A / 'ABCDEFGHIGKL' /
      P = LOC(A)
      PRINT *,V(5:5)

      STOP
      END

Compiled with:

	f77 -g test.f -o test

Yields this when I attempt to run GDB on it from emacs:

     Current directory is /files/stssram/

     Inferior Gdb finished
