I don't understand this reluctance to a military solution when politics
have failed.

Afterall, what's the difference? 

Either CDT pushes the button or I'll have to do so(kill -9 or task
manager under Windows).

There are several problems with waiting for GDB to be fixed:

- Waiting.
- Once GDB has been fixed, this fix has to reach all the far corners of
  the world. This takes a loooooong time.
- There is no interim solution.
- GDB inheritely has a tricky job here, since there are bound to be
  more flaky software/hardware downstream, e.g. JTAG debuggers are
  frequently considered done as soon as the hardware works. I don't
  know that I believe GDB will *ever* be "fixed" in this respect.
  GDB platform backends are added continuously...
