When people refer to the test of starting gdb on a program, setting a
breakpoint on "main", and running to that point, is there a particular
standard test program in mind? "Hello world"? The GDB binary itself?
Or just whatever happens to be lying around and compiled with debug
information (or even not with debug information)?
