FWIW, I've hacked my way around any awkwardnesses in the current API.
This whole JIT-to-GDB-through-ELF thing is a hack, and I wouldn't
consider my use case too much in designing the API.  Besides, I'm
learning that the right way to do this might be to implement a custom
binary file descriptor for GDB to use so that I don't actually have to
generate ELF.
