I’ll build gdb from source so I can begin the process of fixing these bugs myself, I thought. It’ll be easy, I thought.

@saagar haha. a friend told me the other bug was familiar to them. I guess few people bother to report things :)

@hikari Normally I do try to report things and sometimes send in patches but either I forgot to do it that time or I probably found another bug report for it

I got gdb to build… eventually. most of the problems came from Apple shipping outdated stuff with macOS. though I also had to hack the source code to work around a C++ overload resolution issue. 😮‍💨
