Well, it seems that AbSoft, the same people who do MacFortranII, have a
symbolic debugger called FX that appears QUITE neat. It uses standard "-g"
symbol table info, so it can work with just about any C or FORTRAN compiler
but it's forte is FORTRAN... all the stuff that sdb either can't do with
FORTRAN or is too cumbersome or obscure to do with sdb is a snap with FX...

... Anyway, that's what they say...

I've ordered it... and I let the net know how it works with cc, gcc, f77,
MacFortranII and NKR Fortran...
