The size of the text and the data can be very large indeed.
And those, as mmap, are not going to be used normally.
So are wasted virtual address space in the debugger.
If gdb runs out of space building what it needs that's one thing.
But running out because gdb is wasting space is another thing
entirely -- best not to go there.
Again, this is a 'been there done that' comment and
is, I hope, not a waste of everyone's time (or worse).
