The GDB commands file method should already be implemented and has 
worked for me in the past.

There are two seperate files called mythbackend.cmd en mythfrontend.cmd 
in the bin folder that should launch backend and frontend, respectively, 
with a GDB backtrace.

Have you tried them already?

Kind regards,
