I don't really know a whole lot about DWARF(-2), but I wonder if using an
unlinked object file is causing you problems. Hmmm... I just tried this
with linux:
gcc -gdwarf-2 -c test.c
gdb test.o
and it "worked" -- source was displayed, could set breakpoints.
Here's what I would do... Try setting breakpoints, examining code, etc,
with the console version (gdb -nw). If that also fails to work, send a
note to gdb@sources.redhat.com asking for help (make sure you tell them
how you compiled your object file and include a sample session).
If everything works fine with the console, let me know. Something goofy is
going on (and I already erased your zip file).
