debug vim with gdb

[carmel zuk]

I'm trying to debug vim with gdb to learn about how vim works and maybe help 
with bug fixes.

I compiled the source with 

  export CFLAGS="-ggdb"

But when I run 
 
  gdb vim

I get 
  
  ...
  Reading symbols from vim...(no debugging symbols found)...done


some system info:
*  gcc --version  5.4
*  ubuntu 16.04
*  vim 7.4

thanks
