Thanks, Tino.
I've finally managed to get gdb to work by executing the following two
instructions at the gdb command prompt:
(gdb) cd ~/emacs
(gdb) file src/bootstrap-emacs
However, your suggestion to execute the following from the terminal, didn't
work:
> emacs ~/emacs/src
Is there a way to configure gdb to use the above settings (cd and file)
automatically?
