Well the two 'big-name' Linux debuggers would be valgrind and gdb. I don't really know what they're fully capable of; I only use valgrind for memory leak checks and gdb when segfaults arise. Do a little search to see what turns up.

What are you talking about? GCC isn't a debugger...

it can compile in debugging symbols, it doesn't read them. it can't function as a debugger.
