   Am I the only one to have (sometimes) the problem of finding a non-executable
   with the same name earlier in my path than the program I want to debug ?

Apparently. :-)  But seriously, I don't think this change is a good idea.
While it would work fine for native Unix debugging, it will lose for
just about everything else.  For both cross-Unix and embedded debugging
you almost certainly want the programs *not* to be marked as executable,
so that your current host doesn't try to execute them.

However, if you set things up so that this test is only made when
using a Unix child_ops, this would be a useful addition.
