see http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb-patches/2001-05/msg00178.html and make 
that change to "symfile.c"

However, even after doing that, it didnt do me much good:

# ./bin/gdb a.out

This GDB was configured as "alphaev67-dec-osf5.1"...
(gdb) list
1       #include <stdio.h>
2       main ()
3       {
4         short i;
5         int j;
6         long k;
7
8         printf("hello %ld, %ld, %ld\n",sizeof(i),sizeof(j),sizeof(k));
9       }
10
(gdb) break 4
Breakpoint 1 at 0x120001130: file hello.c, line 4.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/users/user1/a.out
Memory fault - core dumped

BTW:  "show warranty" didnt work either ;<)
