Talk about ancient bugs which lurk around for years!  Once the problem 
with remapping registers from the GCC scheme to GDB scheme was solved, 
not only does GDB say correctly ``Symbol "d" is a variable in register 
st0", but "print d" also prints the correct value instead of something 
like 1.12345e-312, both with COFF and stabs debugging.  I remember 
someone complaining about this on djgpp-workers more than a year ago.  It 
turned out the problem was not with variables in registers, but with 
incorrect register mapping.
