Back in 1998, I wrote the in-kernel debugger (kdb) for linux.

Debugging techniques in those days (on x86) involved a lot
of logging, and where available, in-circuit emulators or
simulators like AMD SimNow, although it was actually possible in most cases
to use kdb to debug kdb, just as it is possible to debug
gdb using gdb.

$ gdb -q --args gdb -q --args ls /tmp/bb
Reading symbols from gdb...Reading symbols from /home/scott/gdb...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
