Ralph and I just talked about this on the phone some more -- I don't think 
https://svn.open-mpi.org/trac/ompi/changeset/25654 was the right fix.

We still need to ensure that all the symbols in 
orte/debugger/base/debugger_base_fns.o are pulled in from shared libraries at 
run-time.  Totalview may well have gotten confused if we used the actual 
MPIR_Breakpoint symbol to pull it in (i.e., it actually broke right there, 
rather than when we actually invoked MPIR_Breakpoint, later). 

A better way might be to use another dummy function to pull in all the symbols 
from that .o file.  I.e., instead of doing foo=MPIR_Breakpoint, call some other 
dummy function that lives in debugger_base_fns.c.  It's only purpose in life 
would be to ensure that all the symbols -- including MPIR_Breakpoint -- are 
pulled in at run time.

I'll go do that on the trunk right now...
