Thanks! I grabbed cint and compiled it and it does _exactly_ what I wanted. What I originally wanted was a pure interpreter as I said in my original mail. I mentioned the incremental compiling and loading thing only because I thought there might be a better chance of such a beast existing. cint will let you step through uncompiled source and display global and local variables at any time and do a million other useful and powerful things. This should definately be packaged for Debian. Casually perusing the license it seems that it's free for non-commercial use and if you use it commercially you need to register with Hewlett Packard of Japan or something....
The source tree has four different Linux 2.x targets including RH5.1 but I couldn't get any of them to compile right. It appears to be a termcap issue. I tried replacing -ltermcap with -lncurses to see if I could get ncurses' termcap emulation working but nope, and the termcap-compat package from hamm/admin (not in Slink yet) didn't change a thing either. The build did work with the 'minimum' target though and it's working great.
