Problem is fixed with approved (but uncommitted) patch at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-02/msg00286.html
Arises on different systems lacking either: 1) loader ability to process
external (i.e. non-.TEXT) SYMBOL+offset in .stabs; or 2) gdb ability to process
same. Darwin is one; FX Coudert's gfortran
testing system is another (unknown type).
To replicate, see below.
