Funnily enough I was asking the same question to myself yesterday...
here was my solution

------------------
#!/bin/bash
real-gcc -g "$@"
------------------

I renamed gcc to real-gcc and put this in its place.  I did the same for
g++ as well.

I've never done much debugging and I wanted to get into it.  Could
someone slap me if this is flawed or if there is a better way.

just my 2c


Thanks, Oliver.
