Yes. How could I debug them otherwise ?

Nothing special on gdb. On Eclipse, I don't know.

gdb should be able to set dynamic breakpoints. If it does not work, just put a 
breakpoint in gbx.c at the line where main is called (...HOOK(main)...), and 
there put all your needed breakpoints, as all dynamic libraries will be 
loaded. Don't forget to always run gbx2 with the '-p' option.
