Here is one which forks for me but still it is more complicated than I expected.

I believe there may be side effects but unfortunately it can be expected the
interactive readline(3) usage is not well covered by the testsuite.
readline(3) call does a lot of various initializations currently omitted by the
callback-based gdb reimplementation.
