Not commenting on the substance of the change (though it seems sensible to me.) The inclusion of the .gitignore was probably accidental, but in any case, try not to gang unrelated changes together like this. Thanks!

I envisioned a bit different solution to this problem. The issue does not happen only when the inferior jumps to a literal 0x0 address, but for any address that is not mapped into memory (so we cannot set a breakpoint there). The simplest way to figure out whether we are able to set a breakpoint is to actually try setting it, and check for the error. (plus, I don't think your code handles the thumb case)

And yes, the .gitignore changes should not be a part of this change. :)
