Hello.

I have uploaded the Makefile, C source and binaries compiled with DJGPP
2.01 & 2.02 + gcc 2.8.1 here:

Partially habit, but also because I was trying to finish a new version of
libsocket before switching to 2.02. Maybe I will give up on this and just
switch to 2.02, given the time it's taking for the new release ;) However,
I do have 2.02 on my computer, and I've rerun the '-g' & '-gstabs' tests
with it (see below).

I guess so ;)

That would be good, if it's not too much trouble.

If the above address doesn't work, I can e-mail you the files.

I compiled the DJGPP 2.01 + gcc 2.8.1 version using:

gcc -gstabs -Wall -Id:/develop/lsck/include -c testit2.c
gcc -gstabs -Ld:/develop/lsck/lib -o testit2 testit2.o

I firstly compiled the DJGPP 2.02 + gcc 2.8.1 version using:

gcc -g -Wall -Id:/develop/lsck/include -c testit2.c
gcc -g -Ld:/develop/lsck/lib -o testit2 testit2.o

NB: The libsocket includes & libs are not needed for testit2, but were for
testit.

The 2.02 version gives line numbers on running symify:

Hello mum!

  0x00001b56   ___crt1_startup+138
bash$ symify testit2.exe

'-g' was not enough to allow me to use 'l main' in gdb - the original
problem. Using '-gstabs' fixed this. I secondly compiled the 2.02 binary
available from my web page using these switches:

gcc -g -Wall -Id:/develop/lsck/include -c testit2.c
gcc -g -Ld:/develop/lsck/lib -o testit2 testit2.o

I hope this is enlightening in some way. Bye,
