short time later Code Sourcery released a version that worked with the 
5474 but it no longer recognized the debug information in our binaries. I

the release I tried..

I suspect you were off by one on the version numbers.  At one point, I
know that Diab only produced DWARF version 1 output. And current GDB
indeed does not support that.

It should be easy to tell; if the ELF file has .debug_info, it's
probably DWARF 2.  I don't remember the names typically used by DWARF
1, but I think it's just ".debug".

I think you are right, I seem to remember now that the version was 1.5.
So I guess that changes my question just a little bit. I know that Gdb
was working with our debug info, at least a little bit, until there was
an update to support the 5474. Is is possible to convert the 1.5 info
to 2.0? I would assume that some things would be missing.<br>
