I'm looking at > our TODO list for this release > (http://www.sourceware.org/gdb/wiki/GDB_7.0_Release): There are two bugzillas that I think should be addressed for 7.0. Actually, only one of those would need to be fixed for 7.0: PR/9174 - gdb can't handle PIE PR/9723 - gdb breakpoints silently fail on PIE binaries The latter is actually about adding a warning stating that PIE binaries are not supported, when GDB detects that it's handling one of those, while we don't fix PR/9174. Since it's probably somewhat difficult to add full PIE support, I think we should aim to fix PR/9174 in 7.1, and fix PR/9723 for 7.0. Hence, I'd like to add PR/9723 to the "issues which should be addressed before the 7.0 release" list in the wiki, and PR/9174 to the "optional action items" list. WDYT? > Thanks, everyone. I can't wait to see 7.0 out :). +1! -- []'s Thiago Jung Bauermann IBM Linux Technology Center
