how to reduce a debug symbol error?

Ah ok, somehow I was mislead into thinking that the gdb patches allow you  
to use -g.

It works now though line numbers are more messed up than I'm used to from  
cv2pdb + VS. There I only have the usual problems with mixins but here it  
even jumps around senselessly if I just do a step over.
Don't know if this has to do with -gc or Descent.

Yeah need to test that tool soon.
