OK Carl, but using GDB, I can set breakpoints on the "main" source file, and I 
can step into the secondary files, but I can't find a way to set breakpoints 
on those other files.

It could be a command option, and I haven't found the trick.

Any advice on setting breakpoints with GDB?

BTW, I think GDB is a great tool, with the "right" kind of command front-end 
for text. I just haven't found the trick.
