UPD: after some research turned out `rr` works well, but what I'm seeing with
`rr replay` stopping at `syscall_traced()` is due to `temacs` executing
`execve`, and gdb by default not following into it. To make it work one can
execute `when` in gdb, and then relaunch `rr replay -g $WHENRESULT`. This
peculiarity is very terribly documented despite devs vaguely referring to that
in various bugreports. I guess I'll have to fix the docs to make sure it's more
clear for future users.
