1) Yes gcc 2.8.0 have stabs debug information and it fixes a lot of debug 
problems so if you or Sivakumar want better debug just use it. One problem of 
gcc 2.8.0 for DJGPP is the broken C++ exception handling.

2) The Sivakumar problems looks like that: You have 2 files with the same name, 
one located in the current directory and other not. The project makes reference 
to the one not located in the current directory and when you debug the files 
showed is the one in the current dir. It could explain this behavior.
