Nevermind. I double checked the package I was using, and turns out I used an old package without the socket patch (the non-temporal sorting of packages threw me off).
Testing this on x86-64, I can now see the following: GNU gdb (Ubuntu 8.1.1-0ubuntu1) 8.1.1 Copyright (C) 2018 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
