See my most recent posts to gdb@, along with the archives. There is a
long standing and oft repeated goal of cleaning up the target stack. In

I guess so. At present FSF's GDB when debugging shared libraries on
GNU/Linux does this:

(top-gdb) run
Starting program:
/home/cagney/PENDING/YYYY-MM-DD-target-convert-func/64/gdb/gdb
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint -1.
Error accessing memory address 0x7fdffec35c: Input/output error.
