This doesn't answer your question, but FYI there is an easier way
to do debugging with kaffe (recent CVS)..

  1. Configure kaffe "--enable-debug"
  2. Compile and install
  3. Set environment variable "KAFFE_DEBUG" to "gdb"

Then you will automatically run gdb with the proper arguments, etc.
See also developers/gdbinit.
