It seem to be an issue with GDB not being able to parse GCC's debug info and it seems like regression in GCC rather than GDB. See: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=462882 A current workaround would be to: set language objective-c explicitly, as suggested by Daniel. I haven't had the resources to investigate the exact commit that caused the regression yet. Cheers, David
