Here is what we need: g++, gcc, gdb (latest available versions (1.39))
running on SVR4 on a 386 and/or 486.  Massive aggravation!  It looks
like the compiler must change the way it provides debugging information
(.stabs are not acceptable to SVR4 assembler) and/or the gnu assembler
and debugger must be changed to generate/recognize ELF 
(executable/linkable file format) instead of a.out.

Or am I totally confused on this point?  Please follow up to this 
newsgroup, as our mail is down for a couple of days.
