bin/kaffe is a script which sets up the environment and runs
libexec/Kaffe (the executable).  You can start gdb by setting
KAFFE_DEBUG, then running kaffe.  kaffe (lowercase) will do it's
normal scripty things, then start gdb.

As far as I know, kaffe doesn't support jdb.  Hence, you can't do
source-level debugging of java code.
