That might be hard to implement.
Actually I could imagine implementing something like `gdbserver' that
talks ptrace on one side and JVMDI on the other.

We once had gdb talking JVMDI, but the code never got merged into the
main gdb release.  I could probably extract it and send it out if
somebody is interested in trying to resurrect it.  I'm told it will be
a lot of work.  (And won't be usable with libgcj anyway.)
