Summary:                    Can't use gdb to list out source code from gccgo
compiled binary with -g option
Description: 
The test helloworld.go was compiled and ran ok  by gccgo 4.7.1as shown
below. 
But when doing a debugging session to list out source code, it failed.

$ cat helloworld.go
package main

import "fmt"

func main() {
        fmt.Println("Hello, World")
}
$ ./hellow
Hello, World

argh, I now remember gdb 7.2 on windows has similar problem.
the advice from go team was to use gdb 7.4+.

if our case here, "l" failed. But if we do a "l main.main", the source code
will be listed like following.

bash-3.00$ /opt/csw/bin/gdb helloworld.go.exe

7       }(gdb)
Line number 8 out of range; helloworld.go has 7 lines.
(gdb)

So, I guess when CSW's gdb version is upgraded to 7.4+, this problem will
be resolved.

BTW, I did another test gdb helloworld.c, CSW gdb 7.2 works fine on listing
source of helloworld c binary.
