Not really.  There was a bug in pre-2.8 g++ where it would put foo.cc in the
object file regardless of the actual extension of the c++ file.  So you have
a source file of foo.cpp, gxx compiles a .o files but tags it with foo.cc.
Now, when the debugger attempts to get line information for you it looks for
the wrong file.  This is fixed in the latest gcc.
