Native GNU/Linux application would never double open files.

It is the similar reason I disable GDB directories relocation in Fedora - as
it is not a normal native application behavior - and in some corner cases it
even breaks execution.

GDB is still a bit exotic codebase nowadays, there is a long way to make it
a normal application with codebase for easy contributions:

I am uncomfortable with code opening file by filename I have already an opened
FILE * for, that is IMNSHO a clear bug.

But sure if there is consensus it cannot be fixed in FSF GDB I can move the
fix to Fedora GDB, there is now already ~50 to-be-merged patches.


Thanks,
Jan
