[gtkmm] gdb errors with binary linked with gtkmm on solaris 8

["Pierre F. Maldague" <pfmaldague waitinc com>]

(First sent this message from the wrong e-mail address, sorry)

I am running into a problem that is really a gdb bug but it shows up
annoyingly when trying to debug an application linked with the gtkmm
library on solaris 8.

I'm using gcc 3.2 and gdb 5.3. My application is linked with
gtkmm-2.2.0. When running it through gdb, I get gdb internal errors
similar to those reported in

      http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-prs/2002-q3/msg00124.html

I have been able to remove some of the errors by adding dummy global
ints to source files in various libraries (atkmm, pangomm, gtkmm)
but I still get errors (although fewer). Somehow that doesn't sound
like the best strategy...

Has anyone out there found a way to solve or avoid this problem on
solaris 8?

Thanks

Pierre M.
