Could you provide a reproducer?  How it could be fixed by the package
maintainer?

If you mean jumping all around during "step" or "next" on -O2 -g code that is
a known problem due to instructions scheduling by GCC, GCC not producing
DW_LNS_negate_stmt and GDB strictly (in fact correctly) following what the
debug info says.  This should be fixed in the future in GCC.


Thanks,
