Description

Punted from 0.1. The gdb in fedora 19 really really wants us to be using it, and when we don't, it manifests a bug (#459) that appears to be caused by assuming that the stub is using non-stop when it isn't.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing gdb integration and issue #459 to understand how the stub currently assumes non-stop mode. Investigate what “finish implementing gdb non-stop mode” requires for Fedora 19 compatibility; done means the stub and gdb no longer rely on conflicting stop-mode assumptions and the affected behavior is covered by tests.
