try ddd (or kgdb)

what was the issue ?

it seems that pice in ros needs a specific device driver, I assume it :
1/ implements low level CPU management (ie fault detection...)
2/ implements some kind of terminal emulation (screen shall be shared 
between debugger and debuggee) (including screen & keyboard)
which I think will be hard to implement (with pice current architecture)

that's why you can use any graphical frontend to gdb (which will then 
talk to wine thru winedbg) and gain every feature at once

A+
