Well, it's not a total loss if you're using gcc and gdb;
apparently gcc supports a -ggdb# where # specifies the level of
debugging information you want added to the generated binaries. The
highest level, 3, _supposedly_ groks macro definitions, too. But,
I've never tried this, so I don't know how well this works, if it does
at all. YMMV! =8-)
