Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: libc6-dbg
On Ubuntu 8.10, gdb and valgrind cannot show line numbers and
filenames for functions in glibc for 32 bit programs on 64 bit systems,
even if libc6-dbg is installed.
You can see this by setting a breakpoint on some function
in glibc, running, and then getting a backtrace.
Here's a script I wrote to demonstrate the problem. It assumes
you have valgrind and libc6-dbg installed. (You don't need
valgrind to be affected by the problem, but that's where I
ran into it first.) On a good system, it outputs
"Worked! No bug found".

echo "No symbolic backtrace in $size bits; do you need to

exit 1
