What do you want to debug? AFAICS you need to change the code to achieve what 
you want.

"AFAICS" is short for "as far as I can see".

On my system, if I configure --enable-debug, the contrib modules are
compiled with debug support as well.

Depending on what platform you're using, it may be hard to get
breakpoints in dynamically loaded modules to work.  On many platforms it
helps to make sure that the module is loaded before you attach to the
backend process with gdb.  To do that, you can either call one of its
functions, or just do a manual LOAD command.
