Usage:
 $0 [-B] [-U] [-d] [-q] [-1] [-O] check-module [failing-script1 failing-script2 ...]

A tool to simplify remote debugging of build problems for XSUB modules.
By default, output goes to STDERR (to pass through the test suite wrappers).

If CHECK-MODULE is non-empty (and not 0) checks whether it may be
loaded (with -Mblib).  If any problem is detected, outputs the MakeMaker
arguments (extracted from the generated Makefiles).

If CHECK-MODULE is empty (or 0), or if FAILING-SCRIPTS are present,
rebuilds the current distribution with debugging (in subdirectory $bd),
and machine-code-debugs Perl crash when running each FAILING-SCRIPT.
Outputs as much info about the crash as it can massage from gdb, or
dbx, or lldb.

Some minimal intelligence to avoid a flood of useless information is applied:
if CHECK-MODULE cannot be loaded (but there is no crash during loading), no
debugging for FAILING-SCRIPTs is done.

Options:	With -d, prefers dbx to gdb (DEFAULT: prefer gdb).
		With -q and no FAILING-SCRIPTs, won't print anything unless a
			failure of loading is detected.
		With -1, all our output goes to STDOUT.
		With -O, makes a non-debugging build.
		With -B, builds in a subdirectory even if no debugger was found.
		With -U will reuse the build directory if present.

Assumptions:
  Should be run in the root of a distribution, or its immediate subdir.
  Running Makefile.PL with OPTIMIZE=-g builds debugging version.
	(Actually, v1.00 starts to massage CFLAGS, LDFLAGS and DLLDFLAGS too.)
  If FAILING-SCRIPTs are relative paths, they should be local w.r.t. the
	root of the distribution.
  gdb (or dbx, lldb) is fresh enough to understand the options we throw in.
  Building in a subdirectory does not break a module (e.g., there is
	no dependence on its position in its parent distribution, if any).

Creates a subdirectory ./$bd0 or  ./${bd0}O.  Add them to `clean' in Makefile.PL
(add also the temporary files triggering running this script, if applicable).
