OK, this may be a stupid question, but I've looked at the docs for GDB
and I can't find an answer.  Is it possible to use GDB to debug a
binary on AIX which was not compiled with gcc.  Because of the build
environment here, everything is compiled with xlc, and GDB core dumps
when I try to run xlc-compiled programs through it.

I found the docs about GDB supporting XCOFF format but that it used
stabs information in the executable for the debugging info.  Anyway,
any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW, this is GDB 4.13.  TIA,
