Here a tricky part: I have used GDB on OpenBSD more than once, which
includes attaching to a process on my mail servers when I hunt a bugs inside
it. And it works well.

Emacs is the first application which I can't debug on OpenBSD.

Probably here is third approach.

You had said that this is possible to achive it from elisp. This is
something new, and I use doomemacs as the base for my config. I haven't
touched mine config recently, but doomemacs were upgraded. The good news it
had one large upgrade with few dozen commits since April [1].

Probably I ma use the diff of changes to find potential bad call or
callback.
