Compile the code with the -g option, and make sure your build scripts 
aren't stripping the debug info. That should get some more sensible 
info out of gdb and Valgrind.

Also, compile with -O0 or possibly -O1. Modern compilers mess around 
quite a bit with the code at higher optimization levels, so the code 
you're trying to debug may not even exist in the form you'd expect.
