OK, I misinterpreted "tools", thanks for the clarification.  Yes, that is a 
very plausible explanation.  The problem occurs on SPARC with GCC 32-bit 
because of the switch to DWARF-2 as the default debugging format, while the 
Sun compiler still uses STABS.  Does anyone know what is that of the Sun 
compiler on x86?

I'll try to get my hands on the patched assembler.  If we are lucky, the 
problem was generic and has been fixed on SPARC too.
