Does gdb understand the debugging format used by Sun C++ 4.2?
If so, what version? Anyone know if the format used by Sun C++ 4.2
on Solaris 2.6/SPARC architectures is stabs or DWARF? 

I am running into several problems trying to analyze core files via
gdb of a program that was built by Sun C++ 4.2 for most of the object
code (the executable format is ELF of course, and the program also happens
to be multithreaded. The architecture in question is a sun4u).
