> Come to think of it, with GDB's follow-exec-mode, making the redirector a C program installed as "gdb/gdb" that exec's "gdb/gdb-the-real-binary" should also allow running "gdb gdb/gdb" to work, shouldn't it?

Only if follow-exec-mode works well (AFAIK, it doesn't on Windows).
And even then, the user could find it surprising and unexpected.
