Hmm, perhaps we're just lucky, but it seems that all supported OpenBSD
platforms have no problem with -g1.  I'll keep your idea in mind as
plan B.  Doesn't it result in gdb printing the wrong function names
for static function names in backtraces?

Meanwhile, I still think that find_function_in_inferior() should be
fixed to deal with -g1.
