Install the debuginfo with
# debuginfo-install gromacs

and run gromacs with gdb:
$ gdb g_mdrun
(gdb) run -s topol.tpr (and so on.)

Gdb might tell you to install the debuginfo of other packages too.

I have been working on getting also debug binaries in the package, but I
won't push the new package until 4.0.6 is released which fixes the build
error on ppc64 architecture.
