B.t.w., Markus is currently working on a patch:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2007-05/msg00037.html

that will at least have GDB follow the ld.so symbol lookup rule,
so if you access a symbol name from within a frame belonging
to a -Bsymbolic shared library, you'll get the symbol definition
from within that library.

Bye,
Ulrich
