+
+Say you want to try running file system server ([[`ext2fs`|translator/ext2fs]],
+[[`jfs`|translator/jfs]], ...) against a modified version of
+[[`libpager`|libpager]] and debug the latter one using [[debugging/GDB]].
+
+Set the [[hurd/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
