I'm attempting to setup a system to use GCC as well.  You seem to be 
a bit further than I, so I have no answers to your questions.  I am
posting this to show that there are people out here trying to use the
GNU stuff and having trouble.  Those in the know, please respond to
this basenote.  My specific questions is below.

I have a 520ST w/2.5M and color screen, ICD Host Adaptor with 44M of disc
space.  I'm using the Gulam shell.

I've been attempting to get gdb going but have not been able to get it
to allow me to debug at the source level.

I have to link in a second step after compiling because I don't have
gnugdb.olb.  I don't want to get all the the gnu sources to compile my
own copy.  Could someone please send me one? 

A question about when using gdb.  First what I'm doing.

>cc -c -gg hello.c				<gives me a hello.o file>
>sym-ld -r -o hello.sym c:\bin\gnu\lib\crt0.o	<gives me a hello.sym file>
>cc hello.o -o hello.ttp	<gives me a hello.ttp file (the executable,
			although I haven't tried to execute it by itself)>

>gdb				<start gdb>
(gdb) sym hello.sym
<something about loading sym table...done>
(gdb) exec hello.ttp
(gdb) run
<starts hello.ttp giving what looks like an address and some signal info>
(gdb) list
Listing source requires symbols.
<I thought I have the symbols with the sym command?>
(gdb) step
<more address info>

What do I need to do to have it step through and show me the source code?
I want to use gdb at the highest level, after all, I'm just learning this
stuff.

>Can anyone give me pointers, descriptions, how-to's or other advice?
Yes, please do this.
