I really think that this information should be in the readme.1st file.

Why even support the -g option if it is not usable?
I myself have already completely given up trying to use gdb.
It just never seems to work right, and I also see that lots people
have lots of problems with RHIDE, so I never bothered to try RHIDE.

I find that debugging with printf() is not too bad,
since the compiler is fast enough for that.
