Re: GDB

One way of being able to use newer GDB's is to adopt the
approach used in Watcom:

1. allow GCC to output relocatable ELF's with DWARF2(with some DWARF3 extensions)
    debugging information
2. Update the linker to link these ELF's outputting the linked code, data and bss
    sections into an LX executable and link the debug sections into an ELF.

GBD can then load the LX for execution and load the ELF containing the debug
information for debugging purposes: GDB allows this.
