I built today the `calc' package (not the one written in Emacs Lisp, but
the stand-alone program from http://www.isthe.com/chongo/tech/comp/calc)
with the "-O2 -ggdb3" switches, and got this message during the link
stage:

  gcc   calc.o libcalc.a custom/libcustcalc.a   -o calc
  ld.exe: Dwarf Error: Abbrev offset (1280) greater than or equal to abbrev size (386).

This is GCC 3.0.2 (I didn't upgrade to 3.0.3 yet).  Is this a known
problem with 3.0.2 and DWARF-2 debug info?  Is it fixed in 3.0.3?

(If someone wants to reproduce the problem, mail me for patches,
because Calc won't build with DJGPP out of the box, due to a few
stupid portability issues.)
