David asked about this on the GDB list recently.  I see nothing wrong
with David's approach, though GDB will require a minor modification to
recognize "gcc2_compiled." as an N_GSYM.

See:

    http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-05/msg00015.html

I will note, however, that neither of GDB's symtabs maintainers
have weighed in on this issue yet.
