The non-unixy (as the unixy version may not allow HW ints to work
properly).

Where is this? I'd be very interested in having a look at it!

I'll leave this to Eli.

I have no problems debugging C++ programs with gdb. I agree that most
of the time it cannot locate my c++ functions for me (then again it
does other times), but you can just 'l srcfile.cc:0' and then 'search
Class::Method' and you'll be there. Then put a breakpoint with br 354
or whatever the linenumber is.
