GDB 5.1
>Description:
Debugging information seems totally broken.
When I compile a trivial C or C++ program, GDB tells me :

Dwarf Error: Cannot handle DW_FORM_strp in DWARF reader.

I can't even put a breakpoint on "main".

This shows up with current GCC 3.1 and 3.2 (gcc and g++).
2.95.3 and 3.0.4 both work fine.
This seems critical for the 3.1 release !
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile with "-g", with gcc or g++ the following program:
int main() { return 0; }

Then run "gdb a.out", and then type "b main" in gdb.
>Fix:
I don't know of any fix.
