Ah, OK. That solves part of the problem.

I had that option, but one thing I did not do was a "make clean" before
rebuilding with -g. I assumed "make depend" would handle what was
necessary to rebuild any files that could use the -g, and I guess I just
didn't pay close attention to the build process. How embarassing.

gdb now gives a proper backtrace and soon I hope to have some useful data
to submit in a PR.
