Subject: How does the new gcc handle -g and shared libraries?

Simple question.

Does the new gcc let you use debugging information *and* link to shared
libraries?

Elaboration.

Version 2.2.2d defaults to static linking when the -g (debugging) flag
is given. This is OK except for libraries that I only have as a shared
library, spcifically xview3pl2. In this case its back to fprintfs...

I was wondering if the new version improves this situation.
