What's going wrong then?  GDB implements source level
single stepping
by doing instruction level single stepping until the source
line
changes.

It just stops after a single instruction step, and the
source line
does not change.
Could it be a problem with the debug info?
My object file does contain line number information.
any pointers might be helpful here.

Thanks
Inder.

Try "set debug infrun 1".  If that doesn't
help, try debugging GDB to
see why handle_inferior_event stopped.
