(I hope this is the right group for gdb aswell!!)

Hi, I'm new to egcs and gdb and I have a problem.
I'm using an SGI Octane runng Irix 6.5.5
I have installed egcs and gdb from tardists off of
the SGI freeware page.
I have a small test program (crash.c) which will crash when
executed:

#include "stdio.h"

void main()
{

	int array[50], i;

	for( i = 0; i < 100; i++ )
	array[i] = i;
}

I compile this using 'egcs -o crash crash.c"
When I run it it crashes (!!!!) which is okay,
however when I do 'gdb crash'
followed by a 'run'
I get the message:
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/people/stuart/workbench/crash 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x10001118 in __start ()
    at /xlv55/kudzu-apr12/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M3/csu/crt1text.s:179
179     /xlv55/kudzu-apr12/work/irix/lib/libc/libc_n32_M3/csu/crt1text.s: No
such file or directory.
Current language:  auto; currently asm

Does anyone know what the hell crt1text is?
I have tried changin the crash program to not crash and running that
through gdb and it's fine.

Help!!

When you are planning to debug a program, you should compile with -g,
  which tells the compiler to include debugging symbols, which the
  debugger requires.

I believe gdb is failing to find the source file(s) for your program
  becuase the executable was not compiled with -g .
