> Testing the current port:gdb @ 13.2 I was a bit surprised to see this
> debugger is now actually usable (on my venerable 10.9.5 system), is even
> a worse terminal polluter than lldb is. It will complain about ''every''
> single missing object files in which debugging symbols are expected, or
> ones it can't read (fat binaries, probably object files with LLVM bitcode

> Gdb does have a "verbose' mode in which it prints a trace for each
