: working anymore for osf 3.2C, or osf 3.2C has a broken file. I'm not sure.

Many thanks to Peter Schauer, who confirmed that there was a problem with gdb, because osf 3.2c strips debugging symbols from startup files and shared libs.
He also sent me a patch to solve the problem.

I wish also to thank "Steven W. Orr" <steveo_at_uniprise.com> for helping me to isolate the problem.

OSF 3.2C strips all debugging symbols from startup files and shared libraries,
and gdb-4.15 is unable to deal with it.
Below is a bunch of patches that handle all known gdb-4.15/OSF-3.2C problems,
they will be part of the next GDB release.
