: Make sure you run the same version of GDB on Linux as you do under DJGPP. 
: The latest version of GDB is 4.15, but DJGPP still has only 4.12.  That
: bug could have been corrected in the version you have on Linux. 

	I bet the problem would occur in v4.15, as it occurs for me in
v4.14. From the sources it might be due to MSDOS not understanding the
PATH enviornment variable (colon seperated). I'm really too lazy to
fix this, since most other things work for me.
	Also i dont think you can put breakpoints in headerfiles or
inlined code because there is no corresponding object file to get line
info from ; the main object file references the C source file and that's
it?!
