A straightforward way is to recompile the library with -g.  However,
since rebuilding the library is not easy, I suggest to extract from
djlsr201.zip only the functions that you need to debug, compile them
with -g, put them into the library and relink your program:

	unzip djlsr201.zip src/libc/foo/bar.c
	gcc -O3 -g src/libc/foo/bar.c
	ar rvs lib/libc.a src/libc/foo/bar.o
	make yourprog
	gdb yourprog

After you have finished debugging, recompile the functions without -g
and put them into the library again (or make a backup copy of libc.a
before you begin debugging).
