   These look like a compiler problem. Current devo versions of gcc
   put out linkage names for function scope static variables in the debug info,
   e.g. funclocal___1:V, instead of source names.
   I currently can't think of any reason for this behaviour, but I might be
   wrong (in which case we would need to update all symbol readers in GDB).

"It just happened one day".  I have a task to go talk to compiler folks
about this, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
