As a side note, the symbolic name has been a constant source of pain in AdaCore's gdb-testsuite, mostly on bare metal targets were we use customized runtimes. We get slight differences like these, and require minute adjustments to pass. I've been tempted many time to use "set print symbol off" as suggested by Jan, but I have always (almost!) refrained from doing so, even the testcase has nothing to do with symbolic address printing, because I believe Pretty strongly in testing the debugger under the same conditions as our users. (digressing even further, I did in fact deviate from the above principle, by enabling "set print frame-arguments all", but this causes us to test _more_, so that was an acceptable deviation). -- Joel
