- There aren't any source level debuggers for standard Minix. There is an
- assembler level debugger `mdb'. The 68000 version of this is the best
- supported. Minix archives (used to?) have an old 8086-386-68000 version
- packaged with my kernel debugger in db.tar.Z.
-
- Source level debuggers require at least line numbers and none of the
- available 16-bit compilers produce line numbers.

- On a 386 running Minix-386, or on a 68000 with enough memory, you can use
- gdb. I use gdb-3.5. That version has only 2 or 3 MB of sources. The
- current version is about 4.7 and has well over 10 MB of sources.
