gdb-xfree is currently not completely working solidly in 8.0 and later. It works for me to some extent but isn't perfect. I don't really grok gdb internals too well though, so I've gotten our gdb engineers to look into fixing gdb for once and for all in stock FSF gdb. No ETA unfortunately, but I'll likely announce it on devel@ though when there's something to play with that is useful. >Any ideas what could be causing this?

Try rebuilding the src.rpm I've got there first. That works for me on x86, but does have some stability issues. Other archs don't seem to work at all with it though. I haven't had the time/patience yet to try to figure out why. -- Mike A.
