Description
Not sure if this is a gdb issue or an rr issue but I get the following error when trying to catch the exec during replay.
(rr) catch exec
Catchpoint 1 (exec)
(rr) c
Continuing.
warning: Error inserting catchpoint 1: Your system does not support this type
of catchpoint.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported replay session and run catch exec followed by c to confirm the catchpoint insertion warning. Compare whether the behavior comes from gdb or rr, then trace the replay handling for exec catchpoints. Done means catch exec can be inserted and triggered during replay without the unsupported-catchpoint warning.
