Found a simple way of fixing this: add a single line to .gdbinit
saying just

   set Fmake_symbol

It looks like some issue with delayed loading of symbol tables by GDB.
We already have a similar "set main" line to get gdb_valbits etc., so
I think this is an okay solution.

I committed this to the trunk.
