AIX has a program called strace, but it has nothing to do with debugging
programs.  I downloaded the GNU strace source, but it does not support
AIX.  I have now built GNU gdb and have run amaya with a breakpoint
at gdk_x_error.  The output is as follows:

tools@whale 149> gdb amaya
GNU gdb 6.0
--- cut ---
This GDB was configured as "powerpc-ibm-aix4.1.4.0"...

This is as far as I have gotten today.  Note that I have never used gdb
before and I don't really know what I am doing.
