On a related note, the gdb in our repository (src/bin/gdb) will be removed
eventually. The intention is to fully replace it with Debugger
(src/apps/debugger). I've recently started to implement a command line
interface in Debugger, whose lack has been more or less the last reason we
haven't done that yet. So, should you get to the point where you need a working
userland debugger and gdb hasn't been removed yet at that point, you may still
consider porting Debugger instead and ignore gdb. It also depends on what
features you need; ATM Debugger isn't as feature complete as gdb.
CU, Ingo
