After a suggestion from Eli Zaretskii, I found the solution to this
myself.  This should also work for people using other code generators
(Bison, etc.):

To debug a Fortran program "myprog.f" using f2c, gcc and gdb:

  1.  Run f2c with the -g option:
          
         f2c -g myprog.f

  2.  Compile using gcc with the -g option.

         gcc -g myprog.c   -o myprog.exe -lf2c -lm

  3.  Copy the fortran over myprog.c:

         copy myprog.f myprog.c

  4.  Run gdb:

         gdb myprog.exe
