I am unable to debug a shared object file using GDB on a Solaris machine
using
 gcc-2.95.2 and the default Solaris 'ld' utility ( Solaris-ELF 4.0) as well
as GDB 5.0.

 I have two shared object files; one is 'C', the other is 'C++' (with extern
'C')

 I am able to see into the 'C' .so file, but I am not able to see into the
'C++' .so file.

 I compile both with the '-g' debug option. I load both with the '-Wl,-G'
load options.
 The 'C' code works. The 'C++' does not.

 Can someone please give me some insight into this problem. I am will to try
most
 anything to get this resolved, I just don't know enough to figure out what
to do next.

 - Thanx  Stu

Are you using the latest release, GDB 5.2?  If not, please try that
out.

If the problem still occurs there, you'll need to give us a specific
example of what's going wrong.  That is:
- a complete test program that we can build and try to debug ourselves,
- a transcript showing the GDB behavior you're seeing, and
- an (brief) explanation of why the behavior is wrong, if it's not
  obvious.
