Hi, Jim.
Thanx for the reply.

The native compiler and debugger on SVR5 munch dwarf2 by default. I
don't know how aware of dwarf the assembler really is.

Is there some sort of tool that a human can use to help read these
tables? I can examine the output of 'main(){}' compiled with a native
compiler using -g, but the tables are complex enough that I can't
readily parse them in my head to see how this issue is sidestepped on
the native tools.
I've asked the SCO tool dudes to offer hints.
Thanx,
RJL
