No, that only proves it's compatible enough for gdb to not care. The problem
is all those *other* packages that abuse ptrace in totally crackhead ways.

(No, I can't name them - but ptrace is the sort of interface that almost
encourages its use for things somewhere between crackhead and mad-scientist,
so they're almost certainly out there.. WAY out there.. :)
