In order to [[debug|debugging]] translators and being able to step into glibc
during it, on Debian you need the `hurd-dbgsym` and `libc0.3-dbg` packages installed.
If you need to debug the initialization of the translator, start the translator
like

    $ settrans -Pa /foo /usr/bin/env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/debug /hurd/foofs

The `-P` option will make it
pause and you will be able to attach [[debugging/GDB]] to the process.
