With recent glibc, every time gdb starts a program, the following is printed: warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1. Do you need "set solib-search-path" or "set sysroot"? A patch for gdb is available here: http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2011-08/msg00331.html I have tested this with gdb-7.4.1 on amd64, with a native amd64 program, with glibc-2.15-r2 Note that this won't be fixed in glibc: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13097 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: gdb -ex run true
gdb-7.5 will be out shortly, and this isn't really a regression, so i'm inclined to just wait for that

gdb-7.5 is in the tree now, so this should be sorted
Nope, still broken. I just merged 7.5, and it's showing the same error with linux-gate.so.1 as before. Should I open a new bug or should this one be remarked as in progress?
Reopening for consideration
