I'm not getting along with gdb at all. If I execute "gdb ./emacs", then I get 
no stack, because when I press Ctrl+C to interrupt the program, it exits. If 
I execute "gdb --exec=./emacs", then I can interrupt the program with Ctrl+C 
and do stuff (backtrace, continue) but I get no symbols:


~/sourcecode/stable/emacs-21.1/src > gdb --exec=./emacs
