Try docs/debug32.doc in the standard distribution.  It's always been
there.  Also, try typing "help" in debug32.

There are no source-oriented commands.  Debug32's source understanding
is limited to printing source lines as you list (or step through) the
assembler listings (gcc -g required).  You can print only global
variables by name.

If you think you'll get an answer to this question, you probably don't
understand the difference between tcc's 16-bit and gcc's 32-bit
applications.  You cannot debug gcc-built programs with td, so what's
the point of converting the data?  Gcc's executables aren't even .exe
format!
