It's possible.  But I rather think that the problems, at least in
part, are due to the BFD assembler, which is new to Binutils 2.10.  My
patches were all done a year ago, when BFD assembler was disabled; I
never looked at it.  (That it took so many time to get my patches into
the CVS tree is another matter.)

Did you look in the executable with objdump?

I don't think so: try "objdump -d" on the executable, and you will see
the same truncated file names.  So it might be a BFD thing (since GDB
uses BFD, at least to some extent).

This is already a non-standard message.  I wonder what kind of GDB is
this...

??? "[GDB]" in brackets and in UPPER case?  Do you have some gdb.ini
file where you customize GDB's prompt?

I bet you have some newer version of Binutils.  If so, we cannot
really compare what we see.

I always try to use what the bulk of DJGPP users have, otherwise I
cannot help them on c.o.m.d.
