Package: gdb
Version: 6.4.90.dfsg-1
Severity: important
When trying to debug Kaffe on x86_64, I ran into the following problem:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Desktop/kaffe/test/awt/WidgetsDemo$ KAFFE_DEBUG=gdb
/tmp/kafff/bin/kaffe

This GDB was configured as "x86_64-linux-gnu"...BFD:
/tmp/kafff/jre/bin/kaffe-bin: don't know how to handle OS
specific section `.gnu.hash' [0x6ff6]
"/tmp/kafff/jre/bin/kaffe-bin": not in executable format: File format not
recognized
(gdb) run
Starting program:
No executable file specified.
Use the "file" or "exec-file" command.
(gdb)
Searching for .gnu.hash in the BTS turns up another, unrelated bug report also
involving
use of gdb on x86_64. I assume it has been fixed in the 6.6 version, but that
one is still
in unstable, so I'd like to document the bug for the version in testing.
