This is the assert (g_swig_init_callback != NULL) in
ScriptInterpreterPython.cpp?  After removing that and adding the
subdirectory to tools/CMakeLists.txt I can build and run
lldb-gdbserver on FreeBSD, and a basic sanity test works fine (e.g.,
target create /bin/ls, b main, run, c).

I'd be happy to have it added to the default build now (or once the
assert is sorted out) - I don't see a downside beyond a trivial amount
of extra build time.
