Just out of interest, would specifying the compiler flags
``-mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -malign-functions=4'' increase the
likelihood of hosing line-number tracking?
I've recently included these flags in our project at work and had
one particular other programmer notice that the line tracking when
debugging turned completely bogus. Removing all optimisation flags
and the aforementioned alignment flags seemed to rectify the problem.
The environment in question is gcc-2.95.3 on RedHat 6.2 (2.2.14-5).
I've been using these flags for the FreeBSD build using the same
compiler and hadn't noticed any of this behaviour, so I was quite
surprised to learn of it.

Trent.
