The IBM debuggers work fine with gcc/klibc as long as the appropriate flags are used. Unluckily most of the debuggers aren't freely available.

Indeed I was referring only to the gcc/klibc compiler, which is what the community has decided to adopt including other open-source tools (read WATCOM for linker and sure the WATCOM itself), compiler which also lacks other components, such as the GO compiler, for example, not only the debugger. Other hybrid solutions we do not concern, especially if based on proprietary software: it is absolutely normal that 99% of users of this forum privately use all possible available solutions to develop their own programs/software they need, most of them has know-how, unfortunately, not always this software is suitable for release, due to this hybrid.
Here's what I mean when I say that the system, for the moment, is intended to proceed for an amateur way.
Under this concepts, Martin's Open-source campaign is totally right.
We are going forward using only open-source tools, a great thing, and for now, Exceptq is right.
