Shouldn’t we quote "${GDB_OPTIONS}" so that `test` won’t interpret it as its own parameters (if something in there starts with `--`, which I don’t think is the intended usage for $GDB_OPTIONS, but, well...)?

(Also, `! -z` is the same as `-n`, but I suppose choosing between the two can be a matter of style.)

Here, too.  (Sorry for not noticing in v3 already...)

Sorry, I forgot to reply to this email. I agree, I will put quotes and change `! -z` in `-n`.

I will send v9 because after all this time this serie has some minor conflicts with current QEMU version.

Hopefully this will be the last one :)

Thank you,
Emanuele
