The MCS-generated binaries (*.dll, *.exe) should contain debug
information already.

To get debugging information into Mono's runtime binaries (libmono.so,
etc.), after you run configure, run:

	make CFLAGS=-g

This should insert debugging information into all GCC-generated
binaries.

You may need to do ``make clean'' first, otherwise you won't rebuild and
get the debugging symbols.

Can't think of one, though ``objdump'' may provide what you're after. 
Alas, ``objdump'' is sorely lacking on OS X, so try ``otool'' instead.

``otool'' as well.

Uh, run in GDB?
