Does anyone know of any C++ compilers and source level debuggers supported
under Unix System V Release 4.

I have used SVR3 C++ compilers under SVR4 by using special techniques to
link static object constructors/descructors, the tools provided with these
compilers failed since they expect COFF format files while SVR4 uses ELF
format files.

I believe that these file format differences will also cause problems with
many source level debuggers, this limits me to sdb -- a real pain for C++
debugging.

Any notes on similar experiences or possiblilities would be appreciated.
Please respond via e-mail, thanks.
