I don't know how to look inside gdb as I don't have a working debugger. (If I had dbx I'd just use that)

Not sure what symbol-file is for then. Certainly didn't work with the source .c file.

Has anyone actually tested dbx when it's compiled via Sun's cc as opposed to gcc? I have gcc 2.8.1 (and 
building dbx has failed quite miserably), is it worth installing a newer version? Is it possible that there's 
a gdb binary for solaris 10 somewhere so I won't have to build from source?
