It is not /that/ hard to debug (not much more difficult than debugging  
the symbol table in FPC anyway).

On unix (at least on Linux and Mac OS X) it is trivial to compile (./ 
configure ; make). It doesn't have any unusual external dependencies,  
pretty much everything that's required is included in the gdb source  
tree itself.
