Of course, I forgot that the RTL we distribute doesn't contain symbol
information. Go to the rtl/linux sources directory (I don't know offhand
where the sources are installed under Linux), type "make OPT="-g", and
then compile your program with -Fu<path_to_rtl_you_just_compiled>. Now it
will link to an rtl with full debug information and you will be able to
place breakpoints in the rtl.
