[R] debugger not recognizing C routine names

[Jonathan Myles]

Something seems to have changed with the debugger 
option since I used it last,
unless I've forgotten something really stupid
(much more likely) .  The 
debugger doesn't seem to recognise the names of C routines

I'm using R 1.1.1 on a LINUX (Mandrake) system on a laptop.
I complied R myself without changing any compilation flags
