[gtkada] How to compile for debug

[David C. Hoos, Sr.]

In order to compile a gnat program for debug, the binder and
linker must know about it, as well as the compiler.

So... instead of -cargs -g, just put -g on the command line
following gnatmake.

Also, remember that the argument sets -cargs, -bargs, and -largs
must be the last thing on the command line, so if you're going
to use these, they should come after the `gtkada-config`.

Since what you have here is a gnat question, rather than a
gtkada question, I suggest that the best place to look for
answers is in the Gnat User's Guide.
