Excuse me.
: All you have to do is make the shell readable; alternatively, copy a shell
: (say, /bin/sh) to somewhere else (say, /usr/local/lib/gdb-sh), and make that
: world-readable.
Assuming the above location for a shell, and gdb in /usr/local/bin/gdb,
how about this as a front end to resolve the bug:
#!/bin/sh
LOCAL=/usr/local
GDBFLAGS="-q"
SHELL=${LOCAL}/lib/gdb-sh; export SHELL
exec ${LOCAL}/bin/gdb ${GDBFLAGS} "$@"
