I have some GNU assembler code running on FreeBSD. I am assembling using
the gcc compiler/'as'-driver and would like to debug with gdb. To further
establish my credentials as a masochist, I am doing this in text mode using
vi. 
I can easily get gcc-compiled C code to generate symbols, but if I pass the
-ggdb or the -g flag to gcc for assembler code, I get a binary that has no
symbols(at least, that's what gdb says). How can I debug my assembler
source in gdb?
