I don't know. I'd suggest first to find out whether GCC at all puts that info into the debugging info it attaches to the program. (I suspect it doesn't, in which case it's not a GDB problem.) Questions about this latter issue should probably be posted to the Binutils forum. I have a newer version of GDB on my development machine which might solve this problem, but I'm on the road now, so you will have to wait for a few days if you want to know. One thing I *do* know that GDB 4.18 doesn't handle in the DJGPP port is functions that return FP values in FP registers: it displays garbage as the return value for such functions. GDB 5.0 will corrects this bug.
