gdb & 64-bit Solaris - does it work?

- Subject: gdb & 64-bit Solaris - does it work?
Has anyone had any luck getting any version of gdb to work on a 64-bit
Solaris 7 binary built with gcc 3.2? I have tried both gdb-5.3 and
gdb-6.0 (last night's CVS image) and end up with the same "Cannot insert
breakpoint" error. Searching the gdb mailing list, reveals many other
people getting the same error and the gdb bug database has several bugs
related to this.
Does gdb support debugging 64-bit Solaris binaries or am I trying to
make it do something it can't do?
Here's another example of the error:
[caude@phobos]$ more hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf ("Hello World\n");
}
[caude@phobos]$ gcc-3.2 -m64 -g -o hello hello.c
[caude@phobos]$ gdb64-5.3 hello
