gdb doesn't load debugging info. Here is my session:
% cc -g -c hello.c
% cc hello.o -o hello
% ~/gdb-7.1/gdb/gdb hello

Reading symbols from /export/home/dbarts/C/hello...(no debugging symbols
found)...done.

Trying symbol-file hello.o doesn't work either

However when I compile and link in the same move, everything suddenly works:
% cc -g hello.c -o hello
% ~/gdb-7.1/gdb/gdb hello

The same happens with version 6.8. Both were built with the Sun compiler Sun C 5.5.
