No, that only proves it's compatible enough for gdb to not care. The problem is all those *other* packages that abuse ptrace in totally crackhead ways. (No, I can't name them - but ptrace is the sort of interface that almost encourages its use for things somewhere between crackhead and mad-scientist, so they're almost certainly out there.. WAY out there.. :)
