Just FYI, I've been debugging Chromium to produce core dumps succesfully.
However, I never even tried running the debug version of chromium.

Instead what I did:
- installed www/chromium from packages
- separately built the www/chromium port with make build (without installing
the port)
- located the debug binary (a 4 GB file) in the port working directory
- gdb -s <path-to-debug-binary>  /usr/local/share/chromium/chrome

Like this the gdb loads debug symbols from the debug binary, but runs the
actual chrome binary. Works fine.

Although I have to say this is an ugly workaround.

Would it be possible to strip the debug symbols from the resulting binary,
store them in a separate file?
