I'm right now upstreaming pkgsrc patches to qemu. Once I will be done, I
will switch to gdb.

In general there are around 2 remaining build issues on NetBSD
(<sys/user.h> freebsdism and missing _KMEMUSER). In the past I was
demotivated by that ChangeLog format.

Long term, I'm still working on ptrace(2) correctness (appropriate
support for threads in tracee) and LLDB/NetBSD porting.. I expect to
allocate at some point time - when working on LLDB/kgdb - to improve GDB
support and resurrect execution of tests.
