Re: [RFA] Improved linker-debugger interface

I don't see that as such a big deal.  We have patches in gdb for all
kinds of system- and compiler-specific behavior.  At least in this case
the patches in question are public and free software.

I do agree that we should make another attempt to get the probes
upstream; I just don't think success at that should be a precondition
for this patch.

FWIW, we already have support for the glibc longjmp probes in the tree
now.
