Dave,

The FSF GDB 7.1.50 from CVS head performs much better than the default
GDB in Debian unstable.

I highly recommend building it from source and using it for debugging.

It also has the new `=>` PC pointer when you dissassemble...

   0x413deed4 <+220>:   cmpb,= ret0,ret1,0x413def44 <_dl_make_fptr+332>
   0x413deed8 <+224>:   shladd,l rp,3,r5,rp
=> 0x413deedc <+228>:   ldw 8(r5),ret1
   0x413deee0 <+232>:   ldw 4(r5),ret0
   0x413deee4 <+236>:   cmpb,<<= ret0,ret1,0x413deffc <_dl_make_fptr+516>
   0x413deee8 <+240>:   ldo 1(ret1),rp

Which is handy.

Cheers,
Carlos.
