I've tried gdb version 5.1 (from redhat), 2002-04-01-cvs (from debian/stable), and a cvs snapshot build of gdb from
last week.
>Description:
Please see the gcc bug item:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11508

  The printelf -wi output seems to indicate gcc is writing
the correct information into the binary.

  I _think_ this is different from 456... and 770.
>How-To-Repeat:
gcc -g test.c -o test1

gdb -q test1
===
(gdb) set listsize 3
(gdb) l foo
8
9       int foo;
10
(gdb) l bar
2       #include "test.h"
3       #if zap
4       /* this */
(gdb) l func
5       int func(void)
6       {
7         return 23;
