this is interesting....i learning something new again...

pardon me if i may disagree :-).

i don't think it is a bug for gdb6.8 - it is a very simple
feature....and gdb6.8 must have got right....some point in time in the
past --> for a particular version of gcc in the past (which create the
debuginfo).   but when u move forward your gcc version, and gdb lacks
behind too far.....there will be a mismatch problem.....developer
cannot possibly test so many version combination....well this is
controversial....i may be wrong.....
