Description Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2010-01-14 12:15:03 UTC
I'm posting that bug here since I need some advices. With gdb 6.x all was fine.

With >=7, if I do:
gdb firefox, all that I get is:

[...]
Reading symbols from /usr/bin/firefox...(no debugging symbols found)...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/firefox 

(firefox:4728): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.
0x29160ae2 in ?? ()
(gdb) 


If I let it coredump and do:
gdb --core firefox.core firefox, all is fine, I get the debug information I wanted.

As I am not familiar with the codebase, I failed to understand where to look for what has been broken...

probably going to sit more on the BSD side of things to resolve.  best bet is to just e-mail the gdb lists about it and ask for advice there.

I assume there was no followup. Let's close as obsolete.
