   I frequently observe the 'next' command not to stop
   at then next line. Instead the program continues to the end.
   Similar problems are reported some time ago in conjunction
   with mips, threads or shlibs.

I doubt that this is related to the MIPS issue.  Unfortunately it's
not easy to establish what the cause is.  I noticed that you use gcc
3.4.3.  It might be that the compiler is optimizing in ways that GDB
looses track....


The problem is not related to the generated code.
But I build gdb as a 64bit binary.
Building gdb using -m32 it seems to work with gcc 3.4.3.

Let me know, if I can do futher tests to narrow that problem.

Dieter.
