I tried to tell you about GDB a few weeks ago, maybe I was too cute
about it. :-)

I looked at the problem when I was at Coyote Point.  It didn't look easy
to fix, to me, but I think we have a new GDB in NetBSD since then so
maybe it's easier.

I would like to see every executable that talks on the network, at least,
built PIE.
