Hi,
In the light of the problems in the C compiler with the STABS debugging
format, Mark has agreed to switch to DWARF-2 as the default debugging format
on sparc-sun-solaris2.x (x >= 7) for GCC 3.4.0.
Both DBX 7 and GDB 5.3/6.0 seem to grok it without the need for a special
command line switch and DWARF-2 has been the default for 64-bit code for a
while so the move will probably cause very few problems.
Are there any specific difficulties to be expected on the GDB side? Do
changes need to be made for the upcoming GDB 6.1?

Please send me your patch to test. My solaris2.7 box has an older DBX
installed (5.0 I think) and I'd like to make sure your change works.
Thanks,

No, GDB will need no changes. It'll just work.
