Usually it means that either GDB can not find your dynamic linker, or
that it has been stripped (symbols have been removed).

You haven't given us enough information to offer any more suggestions.
If you're using remote debugging, check solib-absolute-prefix.  If
you're using native debugging, this may be a problem to refer to your
OS vendor.
