+GNU GDB's `gnu-nat.c` doesn't support *non-stop* mode.
+
+Also, from <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2008-10/msg00045.html>,
+GNU GDB's Pedro Alves:
+
+> I also notice that when going through the shell in non-stop mode, it would be
+> more correct to resume all threads --- we don't want non-stop and its
+> scheduler-locking to apply to the shell.  Basically, non-stop should be off
+> if there are pending execs.  This was an existing issue, and doesn't affect
+> linux today, so I'll just ignore that for now, as it needs more tweaking to
+> fix.
