#### gdb and gdbserver as static binaries

gdb & gdbserver, the go-to debugging tools for GNU/Linux and \*BSD systems.
This provides a minimalized and static build for all supported systems.

Note: To use this debugger, please start it outside of confinement, ie execute it directly:

`/snap/gdb-static/current/usr/bin/gdb`

Or:

`/snap/gdb-static/current/usr/bin/gdbserver`

Or add them to your `PATH` for easy access:

`export PATH="/snap/gdb-static/current/usr/bin:$PATH"`
