Hi,
is Fiasco-UX suited for debugging with GDB?
I noticed the lines
   generic.inc:  [ -n "$RUN_GDB" ] && gdb_wrap="gdb $GDB_ARGS --args"
   generic.inc:  $gdb_wrap $FIASCODIR/$FIASCO
in l4/tools/runux/generic.inc and tried to run GDB by setting the 
RUN_GDB variable to something when calling one of the predefined 
ux-scripts, but it always results in segmentation faults concerning the 
calls to the cli and sti instructions.

GDB output:
Welcome to Fiasco(ux)!
