Hello again.

Is there a web page that lists these bugs? I think maybe I will downgrade
to gcc 2.7.2.1.

I modified testit.c to:
/* A minimal program that will cause libsocket to be linked in. */
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <lsck/lsck.h>
int main (void) {
int n;
printf("Here we go...\n");
__lsck_init();
n = getch();
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
This gave the following when symify'd:
Here we go...

BTW is the result of running symify a symification?
I also wrote a new program that doesn't depend on libsocket, testit2.c:
#include <conio.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main (void)
{
int n;
printf("Hello mum!\n");
printf("Hello world!\n");
n = getch();
printf("Goodbye\n");
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
This gives the following symification:
Hello mum!
Hello world!

I think I'd prefer to download a new version of gdb, because I'd like to
use command-line editing, etc. Also, the test progs are rather large
(0.5MB for testit.exe).
It seems the problem isn't with gdb anyway, from what you say about line
numbers.
Again, thanks for the help. I hope the above helps diagnosing this
annoyance. Bye,
