I'm having the following problem (or annoyance) while debugging a shared
object on netBSD. Basically I can't STEP in a shared object function (from
outside the lib). The only way I can get into a function, is to put a break
point on it. I'm no netBSD expert so perhaps there is a work around in gdb
or some compiler/linker switch to fix this ?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Steph
