Re: gcc-ss-20011231 is now available



There's something wrong with the debugging information begin generated
by gcc-20011231:

[pbarada: /tmp] > export PATH=/tmp/crap8/bin:$PATH
[pbarada: /tmp] > i686-linux-gcc -v

gdb-5.1 can't deal with the debugging information that gcc-20011231
cranks out.  How does this get fixed?!?
