Quoting myself from
http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-ddd/2002-March/000813.html :
:That message is from gdb, rather than DDD. It indicates you are on a system
:whose C runtime library contains symbols to support debugging (i.e. it has
:not been stripped), but you do not have the sources to the C library
:installed. This occurs e.g. on Red Hat Linux. IMHO there is no reason for
:the regular C runtime library to contain debugging symbols and I'm happy
:that the distribution I use (Debian GNU/Linux) does not include them.

init.c is a source file of the GNU C library.

Presumably in SuSE's source RPM for the GNU C library; that's where the

comes from.

But you don't need it, unless you want to debug the GNU C library itself.

You can't. It should be possible to ignore this warning and simply use
"next" rather than "step" to jump over internals of calls to libraries
you're not debugging.

HTH,
