RE: Problems using gdb?


Other than several DLL relocations due to collisions with
dynamically allocated memory, it seems to work.

I reverted back to the june gdb release and everything is fine. The
current 
release complains about sections missing in some windows dlls.

My experiences with gdb 5.0 have been generally bad. I had to rewrite 
cygwin unexec for xemacs to get the june gdb release to not complain.
The 
4.18/9 releases worked fine for me.
