You said that this is a Debian system, right? Could you try using the system GDB, and making sure that the libc6-dbg package is installed? That adds separated debugging symbols for libc, including ld.so. It may help. If so, you can make GDBs you build yourself use them too by configuring with --prefix=/usr. You don't need to install them there; it just sets the default for the debug-file-directory variable. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
