Michael, here's the script I made (note I've exported LC_TYPE and
LC_CTYPE because I don't know which one gdb reads):

export LC_TYPE=C
export LC_CTYPE=C
/usr/bin/gdb

But I'm getting this error while trying to run my app:

The GDB command:
"-gdb-set confirm off"
did not return any result.

The GDB process is no longer running.
