See my most recent posts to gdb@, along with the archives.  There is a 
long standing and oft repeated goal of cleaning up the target stack.  In 
part making it more OO.

I guess so.  At present FSF's GDB when debugging shared libraries on 
GNU/Linux does this:

(top-gdb) run
Starting program: 
/home/cagney/PENDING/YYYY-MM-DD-target-convert-func/64/gdb/gdb
Warning:
Cannot insert breakpoint -1.
Error accessing memory address 0x7fdffec35c: Input/output error.
(top-gdb)
