Not 5 levels, but I once wrote debug visualizers for a compiler using funceval (the visualizer uses the debugger to run code in the target process).
I think I once had to debug the debugger debugging the compiler compiling itself which felt like another really weird kind of recursion.
I honestly think one of the best parts of writing a debugger is being your own recursive customer. I think that's something you only get to do for a few things. Debuggers, languages/compilers, and operating systems. And probably a few others.
