I looked into this and it turns out that it can be addressed,
on the platforms that support "gcc -g3".  -g3 is not the default,
which means random Emacs builds are unlikely to work with GDB and
macros.  Still, gcc -g3 works on my main platform, which removes
much of that issue with macros.

Macros' main problems are their gotchas with side effects and scoping,
alas, which gcc -g3 doesn't fix.
