[Gm2] Debug Problem on Solaris/Sparc

[John O Goyo]

Greetings:

GDB seems unable to handle debugging information in gm2 on 
Solaris/Sparc.  I do not know what happens on Solaris/Intel.

Witness:
===================================================================
build: tst=> cat hello.mod
MODULE hello;

FROM InOut IMPORT WriteString, WriteLn;

BEGIN
    WriteString("Hello?");
    WriteLn
END hello.
build: tst=> gm2 -c -g hello.mod
build: tst=> gm2 -o hello -g -I. hello.mod
build: tst=> ./hello
Hello?
build: tst=> gdb hello

===================================================================

GDB has no problem with gcc-compiled code using gcc from the same build. 
 I have not tried debugging output for a few months so I do not know 
when this happened.  (Incidentally, the problem is also present on 
HP-UX/PARISC.)
