Comment (by Chris Johns):

 In `rtems_init_minimal.c` I noticed:
 {{{
 /* Debugger lock, there is no way to ask the libdebugger to wait for a
  * connection, that would block the kernel.  Instead use the following
 global
  * variable and 'set release_debugger = 1' in GDB when ready.  */
 }}}
 I can add a feature to `libdebugger` to have it wait but I am not sure
 what happens once connected? Do I break and wait for the user via GDB or
 continue or should this be optional?

 I think a wait for connection option is a good idea.
