I'm not very familiar with x86 assembly so I'm probably not the best one
to look closely at the code generated for captured_main.
Here is what I get when I run by hand and do a bunch of "next" commands:
(gdb) br captured_main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x807c714: file /src/latest/trunk/src/gdb/gdb/main.c, line 241.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /links/build/latest/trunk/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gdb/gdb/gdb

241 interpreter_p = xstrdup (context->interpreter_p);
(gdb) next

(gdb)
241 interpreter_p = xstrdup (context->interpreter_p);
(gdb)
120 {
(gdb)

(gdb)

(gdb)
122 int argc = context->argc;

(gdb)
177 lim_at_start = (char *) sbrk (0);

187 cmdarg = (struct cmdarg *) xmalloc (cmdsize * sizeof (*cmdarg));
(gdb)

I suppose it's possible though that the code at 0x807c714 doesn't have anything to
do with line 241:
