Really? I thought there was simply line number to address information,
and symbol definitions and addresses (eg. it might tell you that a
static function fred() starts on line 174 of eval.c and is in the code
area at offset 0x1347BF, but I wouldn't expect the source itself to be
there, unless gdb under Windows is a lot different.

It does make the files very large, but has no effect on the memory
size when the program runs, as the information described above is not
used when loading the program, it's only used by gdb when debugging.
