Hi,

We used to have a debug option -gdwarf+ when we were using gcc 2.95. 
However when we changed to higher version of gcc, we got these errors:

In gcc (GCC) 3.2, we got the warning:
cc1: warning: 'dwarf+': unknown or unsupported -g option

In gcc version 3.4.2, we got the error:
cc1: error: unrecognised debug output level "dwarf+"

After I checked the latest gcc manual, I found that this option has been 
removed from gcc.

The problem is, we have a very large source file and we use GDB. If we 
use the default -g option, gdb is unable to break or list at linenumber 
beyong a certain limit (e.g. break at linenumber 1000000). We also tried 
-gstabs+ and -ggdb but neither can work out. And since we use GDB, some 
of the debug options are not applicable. We also tried -gxcoff+ using 
gcc 3.4.2 but got an error: target system does not support the "xcoff" 
debug format. The system we are using is SunOS 5.8 sparc. Anyone has 
idea how to solve this problem? Thanks!

Best Regards,
