Running OpenMCL under GDB is complicated; OpenMCL uses signals
(including SIGSEGV) internally, and GDB has to be taught to ignore
those signals.  (See "ccl:lisp-kernel;linux;.gdbinit").  Complicating
matters still further, GDB assumes that all SIGTRAP signals that the
application generates are caused by GDB activity; OpenMCL violates that
assumption.  (There may be a good way to modify GDB to make other
assumptions; I find it easier to modify the Linux kernel to generate
SIGILL for illegal instruction/trap other than a breakpoint.)

What happens when you try to run without GDB ?
