I think the address/line information is correct, and compiler does
nothing wrong in this case. The first instruction of for loop is
branch/jmp, which is correctly mapped to the right line. GDB should
insert breakpoint at the place which can be hit in every iteration of
loop on that line, rather than the first instruction of the loop (or line).
