commit 4052fa22f69c0964bb42c0f13daa791617253de5
Author: DJ Delorie <dj@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Oct 2 14:46:46 2019 -0400
 
    Add wait-for-debugger test harness hooks
    
    If WAIT_FOR_DEBUGGER is set to a non-zero value in the environment,
    any test that runs will print some useful gdb information and wait
    for gdb to attach to it and clear the "wait_for_debugger" variable.
