It should be as long as all libs were compiled with gcc 3.3.5. Any older
gcc IIRC uses different debug output

Hi Dave,

1.) to answer my own question: yes ALL debug info is converted to the IBM
format
2.) to answer your assumption: no, even output from older gcc's is properly
converted into the IBM format. I am pretty sure that the library I am using
was compiled with gcc 2.8.1 (the gcc that came along with the emx 0.9d
package) because the main dll making use of it was also compiled using the
emx package (I could spot imports from emx inside the dll). And I could
happily do source code debugging on that library (of course it was compiled
with debugging info and I have the sources for that library). Luckily the
library itself did not contain ANY call to an RTL or OS/2 API routine (it is
plain C with a bit of inline assembly), so there was no issue at all, not
even the issue of mixed RTLs (emx versus libc).
