I am trying to debug a program compiled from multiple source files.  However, I
can't seem to make gdb trace any source file except the outermost.  This can
be illustrated by the following example.  Consider the following to source
files:

=== test5a.c ==================================================================
#line 1 "test5a.c"
main() {
  int a;
  int b;
  b=1;
#include "test5b.c"
  b=0;
  exit(0);
}
===============================================================================

=== test5b.c ==================================================================
#line 1 "test5b.c"
 a=999;
 b=999;
 a=998;
 b=998;
===============================================================================

I compiled the test5a with gcc 1.37 as "gcc test5a.c -g -o test5a".  I then ran
gdb 3.5 as "gdb test5a".  I get the following results:

=== test5a.gcc.out ============================================================

7	  b=0;
8	  exit(0);

(gdb) break main

(gdb) step
6	#include "test5b.c"
(gdb) step
7	  b=0;
(gdb) step

Program exited normally.
(gdb) quit

===============================================================================

My question is how do I trace the execution of test5b.c.

Thanks,
