  I've done a quick test here, and with a simple program the only 
functions I see gdb making breakpoints on that aren't in the source
I gave belong to the crtbegin.o and crtend.o which are part of the
c compiler interface to the operating system 
(/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.95.4/*.o). 

  So just so we are on the same page, can you paste a small list of 
which functions you were having problems with?

  If you could startup the debugger on something and run "info functions"
if you see more than about 20 functions in the 'Non-debugging symbols'
section which you didn't define could you paste them here.
