Shouldn't lldb be the replacement for gdb in base?

Thing is, recompiling with WITH_DEBUG doesn't help (I only get
memory addresses in gdb), nor does -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug to
CMAKE_ARGS (the port uses CMake).

Sorry, I clearly did not parse your message correctly.

Looks strange though, WITH_DEBUG always worked for me... Usually I
compile the whole set in poudriere with WITH_DEBUG, to make sure all
libraries have symbols too.

WITH_DEBUG doesn't disable vendor optimizations like -fomit-frame-pointer
which may hinder stack unwinding, doesn't enable debug symbols for ports
not respecting CFLAGS, often a nop for non-C/C++ ports, etc.

Could the framework WITH_DEBUG block remove this (and potentially) other
relevant flags from C*FLAGS if present with variable modifiers?

Only for what make(1) inherits when Mk/bsd.port.mk is parsed. A lot more
ports pass the option via makefiles under WRKSRC that cannot be altered
short of patching or overriding all CFLAGS.

To get accurate list of offenders an -exp run WITH_DEBUG=1 is required
then grep(1) build logs for -fomit-frame-pointer and -O* flags. This can
result in bugs against ports that fail to properly respect CFLAGS, so the
port maintainers can help with patches.

I'm preparing a patch related to WITH_DEBUG, which, if accepted, will
need an exp-run before going in.

That would be a good chance to perform a check for these kind of things.

But I'm still working on it and will need a little more time. I'll let
you know as soon as I have something I am willing to show.

BTW on head gdb is gone from base for i386/amd64 AFAIK, so ports gdb
will be the only way to go in the future.
