Some good ideas.  So, I cloned a clean copy and cd to the source
directory and then took each of the commands from the log file and ran
them with the appropriate input directory paths putting the output in
the current directory.  I then ran echo $? to see the exit code for
each command.  I didn't see any errors or warnings from any of the
commands.  The exit code was 0 for each command.  I then dumped the
dwarf on the binary and again verified that it now contains the
DW_TAG_call_site entries that are needed.  Yea, I was hoping I would
see a bad exit code that would give me a clue.

So, per my thoughts last night, I guess I need to dig into the expect
gdb_compile_ada proceedure and see if I can find something there. 

Please let me know if you come up with any other ideas.  Appreciate all
the time and efforts from you on this.
