[GCC-XML] internal error with 0.9.0

When you debug gccxml, it spawns another process to handle the actual
compile step. You have to debug that spawned process. Use "--debug" (I
think) to see the command line for the spawned process. Or look through the
source code for gccxml's main to figure out how to grok the command line for
the spawned process...
Or, instead of debuggers/breakpoints, use good old-fashioned print
statements to send some diagnostic output to stdout...
