C language, AIX 4.3.3.0, gdb built with gcc 2.95.2.1 no CFLAGS, and LDFLAGS of "-Xlinker -bbigtoc" (not that it makes any difference).
>Description:
Error message in GDB:-
gdb+dejagnu-20040618/gdb/gdbtypes.c:528: internal-error: make_cv_type: Assertion `TYPE_OBJFILE (*typeptr) == TYPE_OBJFILE (type) || TYPE_STUB (*typeptr)' failed.
A problem internal to GDB has been detected,
further debugging may prove unreliable.
Quit this debugging session? (y or n) y
>How-To-Repeat:
Debugging my program that calls a function held within a shared library, and passes in a pointer to a structure.  When I step into said function, and attempt to print the contents of the structure "print *pMyStruct", I get the above error.

If I link my library statically with my program, I don't get the error, and the structure prints out just fine.

Note that this works OK with gdb v5.2.
