Well, obviously you can't do source level debugging at all 
with the PalmDebugger provided by Palm.

Yeah, this is what I finally did - and it works indeed! 
But it is a real pain to do it. 

I suggest to write these facts down somewhere on
http://www.palmos.com/dev/tools/gcc/index.html otherwise
this newsgroup will further be flooded with questions like
"how can I get my Debugger work with gcc".
