   If startup-with-shell is set, GDB's "run" will attempt to start up
   the debuggee under a shell.  This also happens when using GDBserver
   under extended remote mode.

   This is in order for argument-expansion to occur.  E.g.,

   (gdb) run *

   The "*" gets expanded by the shell into a list of files.

   While this is a nice feature, it may be handy to bypass the shell
   in some cases.  To disable this feature, do "set startup-with-shell
   false".

   the target is started up with a shell.  */
