Whatever came of this?
FWIW the Wind River patches to GDB still use the sync loop, but only because
I have not gotten around to moving my command_loop/command_line_input patches
over to the async versions of those functions. I also have to ditch my async
patches for the official ones, but that's a separate issue.
