I can see the reason for this, but it is kind of a pain for Ada.
I believe the makefiles already build the runtime without debugging
info except for the few files that we need (I think it's basically
a-tags.adb and a-except.adb)...

The problem is that we need to get to the argument of function we are
breaking on in order to determine which exception has been raised.
That's where we really need the debug info. I think I even added
a comment about that in the code...
