This error message already says it won't work, although I don't
understand why.  The "No such process" part is especially worrisome.
It works here, FWIW.

What version of GDB is that, and was it built with Python support?
I have GDB 11.1 here.

Also, did you perhaps use the --enable-check-lisp-object-type
configure-time switch?  If so, please rebuild without it.
