CodeSourcery was working with ARM on this (way too long-standing)
limitation; that led to the ptrace patch and to GDB support.

The GDB work is in the latest Sourcery G++ releases, which does not
necessarily do you any good... it will be in Lite in a couple of weeks
too.  We're not sitting on it intentionally; I just haven't had time
to separate out the patch for submission yet.  Hassle me about it if
you don't hear about this again in the next couple weeks.
