So I have been using a poudriere-testport i386 interactive jail to try
and understand this. The error is not with grpbuild, but gprconfig. I
also noticed that even WITH_DEBUG devel/gdb claims there no debug
symbols, even tho the binaries for gprbuild and gprconfig are ≅1MiB
larger WITH_DEBUG, however, the bootstrap binaries in
${WRKDIR}/bootstrap/bin are ≅15MIB larger, and file(1) confirms that. So
I copied the bootstrap binaries to ${PREFIX}/bin, and as expected, with
debug symbols gprconfig does not crash. I tested a number of Ports, and
they all built.

For DEBUG to work, I just added a new variable that is used for the
build process in libgpr that attenuates the compiler warnings. I might
submit a patch for that later.
