Considere the following examples:

---------------------------------------------------------
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!");
    return 0;
}

$ gcc -g hello.c -o hello
     ^^^^^

$ gdb ./hello.exe

(gdb)
---------------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------------
$ cat hello.F
      program hello
      implicit none
      write(*,*) 'Hello!'
      end

$ g77 -g hello.F -o hello
     ^^^^^

Or I have missed something or there is something wrong in the above if
yours conclusions are correct.


Cheers,
