gdb isn't working for most apps on joyride. It interrupts the app (and
refuses to resume) with the following error:
Couldn't read floating-point and SSE registers
This is because of what seems to be a kernel bug introduced in 2.6.25:

I cooked up a quick gdb rpm to work around this, which I'll share in
case it is useful to others:

(I just made it treat ENODEV the same way that it treats EIO for that
codepath)
