I don't know if this is possible, but if it is it's a lot easier to just change the compile to be a debugging version 
and run gdb on the result.  There should be a switch, but if there isn't just change the CFLAGS to use -ggdb -Wall -O0.

Of course, it depends on what you're debugging as to whether this is feasible.
