GDB-5.1.1 seems to work rather nicely when I'm trying to step
rather complex C++ program (with heavy use of STL) if it is compiled
without optimisations and with DWARF2 debug info. If I compile ir using -O2
and DWARF2 debug info things are much worse especially if GDB (or RHIDE) is 
linked with CVS libc (verified that CVS libdgb.a does not cause any problems). 
Retested with GDB 20020227 snapshot (current) and this did not change.
