(GDB is still installed in /usr/bin for sparc64). Maybe something like: "The legacy version of GDB included with the base system is now installed to /usr/libexec for use by crashinfo(8). For interactive debugging, users should either use lldb(8) or install a modern version of GDB from the devel/gdb package." -- John Baldwin
