gcc can be debugged with xxgdb,but i really think that 
debuggers like "ddd"(data display debugger) and "gvd" are 
more suitable.May be someone knows a few more.

Also I think that debugging an executable with a particular debugger 
depends on kind of debugging format a compiler supports rather than
the source language.(See gcc manual for details of debugging formats
it supports)
