what does
QuoteDwarf Error: Could not find abbrev number 71 [in module
D:/Lazarus/Projects/TurboBird/trunk/TurboBird_New.exe]
means? What should I look for?

Either GDB or the (external) linker can't find the external debug
info. You probably have more dwarf errors....
It is not FPC or Lazarus related.

I do not use external debug info. I'll just assume you mend debug
info, external or not.

OK, that is interesting, how can I see the rest of the dwarf errors?

Do you mean debugger? Compiler should work always.

taazz : If you are really using FPC 2.6.4, then please check if FPC
3.0.2 or the release candidate of 3.0.4 helps.

that is a slippery slope, changing compilers in lazarus is not as
simple as changing a number of path entries, I have to go through the
defines to make sure that it will not change the compilation path to
something hiding the problem. Not something I look forward to. In any
case I'm going to revert back to a working point in my svn repository
for now and see if that helps.
