Should I be able to use "info locals"?  Or "p var_name"?  When I 
compile code with

gcc -g -I../include -Wall -W -Wno-unused -O1 -fno-math-errno 
-fschedule-insns2 -fno-trapping-math -fno-strict-aliasing 
-fomit-frame-pointer -fPIC -fno-common -mieee-fp -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -c 
_front.c

this doesn't seem to work:

and if I compile it without the -fomit-frame-pointer, I get
