Does that actually work?  On most of the platforms I use, gdb doesn't
get far with only a core file, you have to tell it which executable file
to reference.  Worse, many distros ship executables stripped, which
means gdb'ing is a pretty useless activity anyway.

A bigger problem is that we've largely stopped shipping shell scripts as
part of the distro, because they don't work on Windows.
