To obtain debugging symbols you shouldn't use the -s switch: it tells the
compiler to remove all the symbol table from the object files. 
Just do gcc -g -o ...

problems getting debugging symbols using gcc on sparc solaris 8

[Andy Crichton]

gcc version 2.95.3 20010315
sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-250
solaris 8

all packages from sunfreeware.com

Compile with the following
cc -g -I ...  -c  etc...
cc -s -g -o ...  ...
run gdb (version 5.1) on the binary and I get
(no debugging symbols found)...


If I compile directly with no intermediate stage
cc -g -o ... ...
I get symbols

Is this something to do with the libraries I am linking with (the compile is
fairly complex and involves the oracle precompiler)

Thanks in advance
Andy Crichton
