Personally, I don't think it does real users any good. Also, a "gdbreplay"
works for any target/host. I mean, you can just build one, and keep it
around for all debugging against all kinds of targets (arm-none-eabi,
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu etc.), no need to have one binary per toolchain,
like arm-none-eabi-gdbreplay, x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu-gdbreplay, etc. installed.
