Glynn,

Thanks for the report.  I haven't had time to dig into it yet, but I
did want to comment on one bit.

This is a known problem with some versions of gcc.  If you compile
with -O0, then src/.gdbinit should work with no problems.  Somehow,
gcc is concluding that it can optimize that symbol away, even with
-g3.  If you really need to debug an optimized binary, replace
"Lisp_Type_Char" with "2" in src/.gdbinit.  It's unclean, but it works
around the problem.
