+Say you want to try running file system server (`[[translator/ext2fs]]`,
+`[[translator/jfs]]`, ...) against a modified version of [[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
