--- Comment #15 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> --- I now can build Firefox with gdb, but debugging experience is not optimal. Gdb starts and when I start firefox it stops itself. After doing "fg" it complains about dwarf headers hubicka@lomikamen-jh:/aux/hubicka/firefox2018-release-trunktest2/dist/bin$ gdb firefox GNU gdb (GDB) 8.2.50.20181222-git Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
