-ffunction-sections and gdb

Hi,

I have some code built with -ffunction-sections and running on a mip64
embedded platform. My code can be booted and ran. But when I'm using
list command in gdb with my image, gdb complains "no source file for
address".  I'm using gdb 5.0 and it configured as
"--host=sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --target=mips". My gcc is "gcc version
2.9-gnupro-99r1".

Gcc manual said that if you use -ffunction-sections, gdb may not work.

My question is:

Is there a fix or workaround for this problem?

Thanks

Yi
