GDB needs to come up in a sane state without debug info - stripped
executable or even:
$ gdb
(gdb) print (long double) 1 * 2
so you can't rely on debug info.

Won't you also want to brand the executable and object file? Without
that it will be too wasy to link the wrong object file into the wrong
executable.
GDB handles ABI variants with OSABI sniffers that key off the brand.
