Re: gcc 3.1 and gdb 5.2?

["Dylan Cuthbert" <dylan at q-games dot com>]

I have tried re-winding to 5.1.1 but still have problems single stepping
even a standard C++ Hello World program.  It does get to the first line of
code, but single stepping over library calls causes gdb to freeze.

System is Cygwin 1.3.10, gcc 3.1 (pre-release or release), gdb 5.1.1/5.2

Regards
