gcc-1.34 generates a special label ``gcc_compiled:'' at the beginning of each compiled file in order to notify other tools like gdb that the file was compiled by Mr. gcc. I just figured out that gdb skips this symbol when it segments the exec file in partial symbol tables. It starts the new psymtab when it reaches the stab N_SO which just follows the ``gcc_compiled.:'' label so the label is never processed again by read_ofile_symtab and gdb never knows it reads a gcc compiled file. At least, this is what happens on my sun386 or is ``as'' supposed to reorder symbols on some machines ? I suggest that gcc output the symbol AFTER the N_SO stab. Is this message clear enough ?
