I'm not even sure this is feasible, taking the cross-debugging into
consideration. I guess it's possible in native debugging, assuming GDB
and the debuggee use compatible libraries for wide character support,
and support the same character sets.
If it _is_ possible and feasible, then a special format is probably the
way to go.
