It does because it might be missing in the system far more often than gdb.
We'd get more backtraces and therefore more data if we focused on gdb
Another point is that Linux distributions have been shipping gdb with
debuginfod support for a year or two. lldb support for it is still pending:
https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/52732
Therefore, I repeat: if there's room for only one, it's gdb.
If we do support both, then on Linux gdb must be used in preference.
DrKonqi itself could declare a required build dependency on lldb, and
then we would know it's present on the system. Distros that don't
package it would then have to omit DrKonqi, or start packaging it.
