Put a sleep( 20 ) or so into the CGI source, rebuild, put it on the web site. 
Then try to access it.  When it's running, tell the KDevelop debugger to 
attach to that process ID.

And voila...you've got debugging, baby!

hehe

I love the GNU debugger for tasks like this (I'm guessing KDevelop uses gdb 
under the hood...just never checked.)
