Do you think it's the debugger or the compiler that's at fault?
The debugger crashes when certain (recently pretty much any) debug
information is enclosed.
Thus, the debugger is at fault, for crashing. But for all I know, the
compiler might also be at
fault, for emitting invalid debug information; however it is more likely
newer debug information
that my vintage gdb can't understand.
The execution failures are most likely gcc bugs, except when prefetching
unmapped memory
is involved; the simulator had a bug there.
