how to debug deman-loaded programs

[Banibrata Dutta]

sorry, one update, i forgot to compile 1 small section with -g.
on doing that i do not see the "rtld.c" anymore, but i see only
the source code corresponding to the innermost-level of static-
code (i.e. part of code that does dlopen(), not the part of any
shared object that is demand loaded).
