-The [GNU debugger *GDB*](http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/) works on GNU/Hurd
+The [[GNU_debugger_*GDB*|/gdb]] works on GNU/Hurd
systems as it does on other system, but has some additional [hurd-specific
features](http://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb_19.html#Hurd%20Native)
to offer, such as [[noninvasive_debugging]] (for avoiding [[deadlock]]s), for
example.

-When someone asks you to supply a backtrace (from a [[segmentation_fault]], for
-example), here is roughly what you have to do.
-
-Run the faulting program like this:
-
- $ gdb --args PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS]
- [...]
- (gdb) run
- [...]
- [Segmentation fault.]
- (gdb) bt
- [...]
-
-(!) This will only provide useful information if the executable (and additional
-libraries) contain debugging symbols, or those are available separartely.
-
-If you're one a [[Debian_GNU/Hurd_system|running/distrib/debian]], you'll have
-to have the *hurd-dbg* package installed for debugging Hurd stuff, and perhaps
-*libc0.3-dbg* as well if it's inside the glibc.
