Yes, thanks a lot! I'll try that as soon as I manage to build hurd with debugging symbols.
You might want to take a look at something [1] Neal wrote to manualy bootstrap an translator which is a bit easier than attaching gdb to a process, IMHO. But its far more fun! :) Wouldn't it be nice, if Debian had a "hurd-dbg" package with non-stripped binaries, just as there are "-dbg" packages for many libraries? Good idea! Would you like to do that? You might want to include the libraries in that package too. [1] ftp://ftp.walfield.org/pub/people/neal/papers/hurd-misc/manual-bootstrap.txt
