building with debugging turned on

Well I can't seem to figure out where these seg faults are coming  
from with nl-ffi so it's time to do things the hardware.

Is it very reasonable to try and build my program with debugging  
turned on so I can try to track down the problem using gdb ?

Perhaps there is a better way ?

Thanks

Brian
