Issue and Steps to Reproduce

No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.

First reported at https://github.com/facebook-atom/atom-ide-debugger-native-gdb/issues/6

Expected Behavior

Debugger should launch and pass executable to GDB.

Actual Behavior

GDB never appears to get the path to the executable.
