stepping thru assembled files that are referenced as temp files ie: /tmp/ccjirvvY.s

[John Utz]

Hello;

gdb 6.0 /gdbserver is telling me that i am segfaulting in a file that
appears to be a tmp-name generated during the link process for the
parent static library.

iblit16.s is compiled into iblit16.o and ar'd into liballd_unshared.a.
My exe is linked against liballd_unshared.a.

here is what gdb says when i try to step into the problem function:

(gdb) s
_linear_clear_to_color16 () at /tmp/ccjirvvY.s:27
27      /tmp/ccjirvvY.s: No such file or directory
          in /tmp/ccjirvvY.s
Current language:  auto; currently asm
(gdb)

how can i tell gdb to stop looking for the tmp-name and look for this
function in allegro-4.0.3/src/i386/iblit16.s?

tnx!
