Say you want to try running file system server (*[[translator/ext2fs]]*<!--`[[translator/ext2fs]]`-->,
*[[translator/jfs]]*<!--`[[translator/jfs]]`-->, ...)  against a modified version of *[[libpager]]*<!--`[[libpager]]`--> and
debug the latter one using [[GDB]].

Set the [[translator]] like this:

    $ settrans -fgap ↩
      jfs.img.i ↩
      /usr/bin/env ↩
        LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~tschwinge/tmp/hurd/hurd.ogi/build/libpager ↩
      "`pwd`"/jfs.obj/jfs ↩
      "`pwd`"/jfs.img

Then, when starting GDB, start it like this (or use an equivalent method, of
course):

    $ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~tschwinge/tmp/hurd/hurd.ogi/build/libpager ↩
      gdb ↩
      ~tschwinge/tmp/jfs/jfs.obj/jfs 15436
    GNU gdb 6.5-debian

Voilà.
