Re: gdb Objective-C patch

[Adam Fedor]

One thing you might notice with the gdb snapshot is that it is extremely 
slow
debugging Objective-C programs. This is not actually a problem with 
Objective-C, but
a problem with programs that have shared libraries AND are linked with 
libpthread.  You can see it even before applying the patch with the 
attached example.

I don't know if it will get fixed or not. For now, the only solution is 
to debug
with gdbserver, which is awkward, but faster. For example:

gdbserver :6543 myprogram args

and in another terminal:

gdb myprogram
> target remote :6543
{and start debugging...}
