The problem is knowing where the info gets lost.  My initial study seemed to 
indicate that it was ld that was doing it, thus this report.

Yes, I use -gdwarf-2.  The wrong info shows up on "bt" into entry.S where gdb 
(run in emacs) shows the source file.  What is displayed, ususlly, is some 
header file.  This is line number/source related.  The reported function is the 
nearest preceeding label and seems to be right.
