From 0221575903ad68debea57679b5b46575bf57afb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2005 15:57:23 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] uml: workaround GDB problems on debugging Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves. Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments (which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a debuggable UML binary.
