Hello !

I have DJGPP on computer with Win98. And cannot debug source files with long 
names. Example:
test$ cat long_long_long_source_file_name.cpp
#include <iostream>

int main(void)
{
  cout << "*** Start ***" << endl;
  return 0;
}

And if look into .o after compilation with debug information we can see
"long_long_long" (cut to 14 symbols). this is why it cannot be traced
in RHIDE for example: it just gives me
+-[_]----------- Error ----------------+
¦                                      ¦
¦  Could not find the source file      ¦
¦  long_long_long.                     ¦
¦                                      ¦
¦                                      ¦
¦                  OK   _              ¦
¦                ________              ¦
+--------------------------------------+

test$ gcc --version
2.952

But if i use GCC 2.952 on my Linux
idisys:~$ gcc --version
2.95.2

It stores entire file name in .o file.

What can I do ?

Sincerely,
Michael
