Re: gdb not working with older glibc

Well that pretty much was the exact output.
Here's the version info too:

GNU gdb 6.0

This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-linux-gnu"...
(gdb) run
Starting program:
/path/(name-omitted)

Program received signal SIG32, Real-time event 32.
0x0811c7f6 in __sigsuspend (set=0xbffff380) at
../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c:45
45      ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c: No such file or
directory.
        in ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/sigsuspend.c
Current language:  auto; currently c

And for gdb 6.0 working, it's just the same thing without the error/crash.
