I am thinking we should also include the following patch:

    gdb: Don't drop SIGSTOP during stop_all_threads
    https://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2018-05/msg00401.html

This one causes GDB to (sometimes) hang while trying to attach to
a process. Unfortunately, the while the patch looks fairly simple,
I think it needs careful review from someone who knows this area well...
