It seems that it depends on the version of the compiler and the operating
system:

On Solaris I am not able to debug MOCKA-programs: gdb is not able to read
the symbols from the executable.

On Linux it is different: 

using a very old linux system I was able to debug the programs
on a newer system gdb can read the symbols, but "info functions" 
ends with a segmentation fault.

BTW: Does somebody know the reason for this latter behaviour? Is 
this a problem of gdb or of the MOCKA-System?
