Many of the basic ones, yes.  However, many facilities, even some
shared with gdb, are accessible only through lldb-specific syntax, I
think.  It might be easier to add more command aliases to lldb than to
mess with gdb (except for the prompt string, but that's a trivial
change that isn't even handled by gdb, I believe, it's part of comint).

I don't know: I never used gdb much, except for XEmacs specific
functions, and usually after XEmacs crashed.

I think it's a good idea to try, but I don't have time at the moment.
