Mac old DWARF debug info - rebuild with newer compiler

[mdekauwe]

Hi,

When I tried to build a program with the debug flag I get the following error

ld: in getmet.o, object file contains old DWARF debug info - rebuild with newer compiler

this problem seemed to be a bit similar to this posting:

Where there is mention of un-installing gdb being the issue. I recently (installed a new version of gdb), though I don't understand the issue with gdb so not sure how to correct this?

I am using

GNU Make 3.81

ifort 11.1 20

GNU gdb (GDB) 7.2

Many thanks

I should add this happens even with a simple test case e.g.

PROGRAM hello_world

IMPLICIT NONE

PRINT *, "Hello World"

END PROGRAM hello_world

ifort -g -o hello hello_world.f90
