Dear Sir,
I eventually know what the problem is. I overlook this line at the  end of the Makefile
strip program
So I can't find any symbols from the object file when I gdb it. Everything is OK when I delete this line from the Makefile.
Thank you for so much hints from you.

>> I have a executable binary "program" which is generated like this:
>> 
>> gcc -c program.c -g -Wall
>> gcc -c program_1.c -g -Wall
>> gcc -c program_2.c -g -Wall
>> gcc program.o program_1.o program_2.o -o program -g -Wall
>> 
>> Now I want to debug it with gdb. But the problem is as follow:
>> 
>> $ gdb program
>> Copright 1998 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
>> ...
>> This GDB was configured sa "i386-unknown-freebsd"...
>> (no debugging symbols found)...
>> (gdb) break main
>> Function "main" not defined.
