Debugging bootstrap
Hello hackers,
Is there some established way of debugging the bootstrapping sequence?
If not, does anyone have a tip on how would one do it?
I mean getting the standalone boostrapping backend into gdb...
Thank you.

I'd just run the backend under gdb, passing it the same command line
and stdin file as initdb would provide. Don't forget to initialize
the data directory as much as initdb would do, too.
