gcc 3.1 and gdb 5.2?

[Doug Warmke <doug at ikos dot com>]

GCC Team,

We recently installed gcc 3.1 and have successfully built our tree.
When we try to debug using gdb 5.2, we get a core dump whenever
trying to set a breakpoint.   This is occuring on both Solaris 7
and Solaris 8.  Our code is C++ (not C).  A sample transcript
is shown below.

Are there any known issues using this combination of GNU tools?
Do we have to enable any special configuration or compiler options?
The only thing I found on gcc.gnu.org was that gdb 5.1.1 or higher
is required for debugging gcc 3.1 compiled code.

Thanks and regards,
Doug Warmke
