I don't know if it is a gcc or gdb bug, and I don't have a
self-contained testcase. The only thing I see is gdb crushes on
cc1 from gcc 4.0. It seems that gdb 6.3 assumes DW_AT_frame_base
exists for a function. But not all functions in cc1 in gcc 4.0
have DW_AT_frame_base and gdb 6.3 crushes in dwarf_expr_frame_base.

BTW, does gdb use bugzilla?
