Description Mark I Manning IV 2013-11-15 17:20:23 UTC 
When single stepping stripped binaries (or in my case JIT code layed down by my Forth compiler) GDB reports errors related to it being unable to access address zero and it not being able to determine the bounds of the current funciton.

The following patch fixes this issue (not created by me :)

Comment 1 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-12-09 00:47:36 UTC 
upstream has also declined to pick up this patch ...
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2018-06-23 22:32:22 UTC 
Is this still relevant for gcc-8.1-r1 ?
Comment 3 Sergei Trofimovich (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2019-09-18 23:03:31 UTC 
I suggest sorting it out upstream.
