Could you try using the > system GDB, and making sure that the libc6-dbg package is installed? I have installed the package libc2-dbg package and it does solve the problem. So this explains why the issue appears only on debian based distros. I am actually writing a gdb front end (yeah, another one) so I think I will stick to the LD_BIND_NOW solution because I cannot force users to install the libc2-dbg package. For the record, the front end I am writting is http://home.gna.org/nemiver. Maybe I should file a bug to debian asking if they could install libc6-dbg as a dependancy of gdb ? Does that make sense ? Thank you very much. Dodji.
