Problem debugging gcc compile test on Solaris 7.

Problem debugging gcc compile test on Solaris 7.

[Hillel (Sabba) Markowitz]

It turns out that a test program compiled on Solaris 8 will debug successfully 
even when run on a Solaris 7 platform. A test program compiled on Solaris 7 
(in 64-bit mode) will fail
           even when executed on a Solaris 8 platform. The gdb result (also 
built in 64 bit mode by gcc on the correct platform - Solaris 7 or Solaris 8) 
is as follows

           gcc -g -m64 testit.c -o testit

           gdb testit
           break testit.c:43

           Breakpoint 1 at 0x938: file testit.c, line 43

           run

           Starting program: testit
           Warning:
           Cannot insert breakpoint 1.
           Error accessing memory address 0x938: I/O error.
           The same program may be running in another process.

Is there some option that was neglected when building gcc for Solaris 7 that 
is either not required or is a default on Solaris 8.

I have also sent a help request to the gdb mailing list but it appears as if 
the problem lies with gcc.
