For those of you interested, in the GDB 7.1 release there is a bug
which prevents "var" arguments from being "print"ed correctly in GDB.
I logged a bug for this
(http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11349), for which a
GDB developer checked up a fix into the GDB cvs trunk late last week.

I've tested it and the patches they provided do fix the problem. So,
if you feel inclined to compile GDB from scratch this will solve a
very annoying problem debugging FPC-compiled binaries with GDB.

Good luck,

-SG
