Umm... the last time I checked, there were some incompatibilities when
debugging programs that are compiled for profiling. I think you've got
your command line switched mixed up: '-g' compiles with debugging
information, and '-pg' compiles for profiling. Try using '-g' and you
should be able to debug properly.

It's far easier to just type "gdb bspbuild.exe" instead of manually
loading the file. Also, with v2.01, debuggers are capable of handling
.exe files as well as unstubbed images.

Try getting the latest version of RHIDE. Robert Hoehne has done some
fantastic work in integrating the functions of the gdb debugger into a
Turbo Vision-style interface. His debugger exists as both an integrated
part of the RHIDE IDE and as a standalone program.
To obtain RHIDE, you'll need the 'v2apps/rhide11b.zip' package, and
you'll also need to get the latest updates to v1.1 from Robert's web
site at <http://www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho/rhide.html>.
Good luck!
