I'm one of the developers on the GRASP team at Auburn Univ.  The Unix
version of GRASP is designed to be a front-end to the compiler as
well as a code understanding tool.  It does not include a debugger,
but programs can be executed from within the GUI.  A Win95/WinNT
version of GRASP with the same capabilities will be available by
spring of '97.
