No opinion on static/shared lib... but should you decide you would
want a shared library in the future, you might consider upgrading your
gdb. There should be no problem loading symbols from shared libraries
in recent versions.
I have tried debugging some of my command-line utilities using
Xerces-C on a box not too different from yours. In GDB 5.0 you can
trace the execution in the Xerces source code, switch between
different threads and various other nifty tricks.
This was on an Ultra running Solaris 8 (`uname -sr` = "SunOS 5.8")
with gcc 2.95.2 and gdb 5.0.
