Yes.

It turns out that the MIME type of the executable generated by gcc is
application/x-sharedlib and not application/x-executable and hence the
message I got.

I added the option -no-pie to the gcc command used by Anjuta and
rebuilt my program, and the debugger now works.

I'm not sure if this is a bug in Anjuta or gcc!

Tony.
