I haven't done a whole lot of debugging but I hacked mplayer for a
while.  Mplayer is a rather big project with lots of code so it
generates a heavy binary.  So the first thing I did was come up with a
./configure line to strip it off everything I didn't need to test the
feature I was hacking.  Then I simply made the Makefile scp every new
binary to the phone with full debug symbols (stripping them didn't
save much) and used gdb directly on the phone, it was quite usable.

Cheers
