And this NFS-like service network protocol must be signed by Fedora project like the current rpms are. Then the fast operation of GDB on the client depends on these known issues: * http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/GdbIndex which is now present in F14 updated packages (but it still was not present in F14 GA packages). * Recheck THe .debug files reading via .gdb_index is really optimal for the network protocol. * Fixing GDB to not ever touch .debug files for libraries not going to be used in the specific backtrace at all.
