Gdb on my MIPS M-2000 running RISC/os 4.01 (on the bsd side) had a
problem with line numbers that are represented in the extended format
(delta greater than -7 - 7).  A fix is below.  I don't know if it
works for other MIPS boxes (like the SGI).  I think the problem is
with what happens to the sign bit when code gets '>>'ed and assigned
to delta.
