Hello,

Since the relase of GCC 3.0.x for djgpp I have the problem of using gdb
5.0 with the resulting objects/binaries.
I intend to set breakpoints in a c++ object's member function with
b 'MyClass:MyFunc'. but it seems, that if I compile a file with -g3
option, gdb can not handle the stored debug info.

it steps through the sources correctly, but it then prints only the
signature of the function, not the demangled name of the function.

So my question is:
- Is there going to be an updated GDB for djgpp in the near future?
or
- May I get my intended functionality by compiling with any other -g
option? dwarf(-2), stabs etc?

i am using dj-dev 2.03, binutils 2.11.2, gcc 3.02 and 3.0.3 (the c++
parts to be exact)

additionally I'ld like to ask if there is a GDB binary out there, that
is compiled for i586 (the one currently on simtel is for 686, and I am
not sure of, if it works ok on my k6-2 in respect to the incompatible
breakpoint support of those architectures)

Thanks in advance
