They can't...at least the copies I have can't. They will if it is moved
into a .cc implementation file and only prototyped in the .h definition
file. And yes, I do compile with debugging information for anything other
than a final, distribution release, as in

gcc this.c that.c -o those.exe -g -lalleg
                              ^^^^
I was given to understand this is the correct syntax to put debug data in
the .exe. And I was not using -fomit-frame-pointer, which I know can
affect debugging, curtail stack trace info and so forth.
