Howdy!  I've been having a problem getting GDB to work on my MEGA 4.

If I compile with the -gg switch, the resulting symbol files cause 
gdb to crash when I attempt to load them.

If I compile with the -g switch I get the following error message when
I attempt to link the executable...

Bogon alert!  wrote 213 symbols, expected to write 235

I'm not sure about those numbers, but that was the general error message.
the executable is produced, and the symbol file created with sym_ld does
load properly into gdb.  But when I attepmt to run the executable from gdb,
I get "Program terminated with code #ffffff95" (again, not sure  of the 
number).

Does anyone know how to create good symbol files and good executables???
I can't use the -mshort flag because I need to have 32-bit ints (if that
makes a difference).

thanks for your help!
