Yes, but that's a bigger issue than just scm_wrong_num_args, I'd say.
You need to sue the C debugger to debug C code, and it would be nice
to integrate it with the Scheme debugger.  (That is, GDB should know
how to debug Scheme code by hooking into the Scheme debugger that runs
in the Guile process.)
