Hmmmm, don't know about that. GDB was written for the Hurd.
Even I don't go back that far, but Fred Fish does -- I see a
Usenet post from Fred saying that he had version 1.1 of gdb
back in January of '87. (Hey Fred -- any chance you've still
got that? <g>)
Posix was being whispered about at least as early as '86, but
I don't think GNU was conceived as being Posix-compliant until
way later (if at all).
