Perhaps a GCC or binutils problem with COFF debugging info. Currently DWARF2 
debugging info is the default and COFF one gets a little testing and may be 
bitrotted. I suggest to either try DWARF2 debugging info if possible (simply 
-g instead of -gcoff) or use a different compiler version.
1.4 build.
