Hi Pete,

sorry for not replying earlier, but I didn't read the list for some 
days now. I have had the same problems you mentioned on FreeBSD with 
FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE and gcc 3.0.4. The problems went away as soon as I 
upgraded to gcc 3.1 on FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE.

I'm currently using gcc32 (GCC) 3.2.1 20020902 (prerelease) [FreeBSD] 
built from the ports collection (/usr/ports/lang/gcc32) with 
WANT_THREADS_SUPPORT=YES on FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE and I'm able to do 
debug-builds. However, be aware of the fact that you need gdb 5 (I'm 
using gdb52) for debugging.

I applied Adam's Objective-C patches to gdb 5.2 but gdb52 crashes on 
several occasions. However, the vanilla gdb52 also crashes from time to 
time, so I don't blame it on Adam's patches.

Cheers,

  Marcus
