A heads up, I am going to start committing pie support to my old
branch (which I am bringing up to date) in a few hours. I will then
merge it piecemeal to mainline. It's not that much code. More details
later.

I must not have gotten the memo - what's pie? (yeah, yeah, filled pastry
that one eats :-) )

exactly, next will be gdb brewing your own tea. Tea, earl grey,
hot. An appetizing combinations. And who says we never think about the
comfort of the poor users?
It's position independent executables. Your main exec is just like a
shared library. Every time you run it you get a different start
address. Not fun, I can tell you. gcc -fpie -pie -g -o blah blah.c

And not even implausible! GDB could inject itself into the embedded
systems that are in modern coffeemakers, through the stub into
flash memory. Why run an *inferior* process when you can replace
it with a *superior* debugger?

(I'm not going there)
Anyway, I think this is something for PROBLEMS - broken in 6.1, fixes
available for mainline.
