Nothing can be done about old versions of gdb. They are fixed. I think the situation is better in newer versions of GDB. We've fixed a lot of bugs, anyway. (I'm not sure exactly what problem you hit, so I don't know if gdb is in fact any more future-proof in that area.) I don't think things can ever be perfect. GDB checks the various DWARF version numbers, but that doesn't exclude extensions. Bruce> I simply installed the latest openSuSE and got whatever was Bruce> supplied.

We've done a lot of work in GDB to catch up with GCC's changing output. The development process here is actually reasonably well synchronized. Tom
