Easy ;-)

By default egcs will do precisely what you want.  If you configure egcs and
binutils with the same --prefix (or no --prefix option), then egcs will be
able to find the installed GNU assembler before the system assembler.  This
is precisely what we do on hpux.

This has nothing to do with the debug symbols.  I would bet that gdb has been
configured to think it is a cross-debugger.  I don't know how that happened,
but the failure you are seeing has nothing to do with the debug symbols.

In fact, the message "Breakpoint 1 at 0x8048d7a: file goodtest.C, line 34."
indicates that gdb was able to find and interpret the debug symbols correctly.
