Will the dwarf -g unstripped libX11.so.4 be fixed?
Or is this a Solaris XWindow feature, and not a bug?
IIRC, SXCE build 91 is still delivering the unstripped libX11.so.4,
so that bug buddy / gdb crashes as soon as it tries to load symbols
for libX11.so
There are complains for OpenSolaris 2008.05, too:
