It does not support all of the architectures that FreeBSD does, and imposes limitations on the FreeBSD kernel build, such as the continued use of DWARF2 debugging information. It was kept (in /usr/libexec/) only for use by crashinfo(8), which extracts some basic information from a kernel core dump after a crash. Crashinfo already prefers gdb from port/package if installed. Future work may add kernel debug support to LLDB or find another path for crashinfo's needs, but in any case we do not want to ship the excessively outdated GDB in FreeBSD 13.

We kept it for sparc64 (because gdb in ports lacked sparc64 support) and as a fallback for crashinfo. gdb was installed to /libexec on all archs other than sparc64, where the WITHOUT_GDB_LIBEXEC option was default, with gdb installed to /usr/bin. With sparc64's retirement WITH_GDB_LIBEXEC became the default for all architectures, but it was still possible to set it off and install gdb into /usr/bin. As the next step in gdb's retirement, remove the option and install gdb only into /libexec as the crashinfo fallback. We expect users to install the gdb port or package for debugging. The in-tree gdb lacks support for a number of supported architectures and does not support contemporary DWARF debug info.

Other bits of GDB such as gdbserver and gdbtui are not installed. For this option to be effective, GDB must be enabled. Rework r317094 to re-enable GDB on all platforms but enable GDB_LIBEXEC on platforms for which the GDB in ports is a superset of functionality.
