Description Christophe Saout 2006-08-23 06:09:20 UTC

Using the latest (still -*) binutils 2.17.50 gdb warns about the new GNU hash style:

BFD: /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2: don't know how to handle OS specific section `.gnu.hash' [0x6ffffff6]
warning: Unable to grok dynamic linker /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 as an object file
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.

Fedora has a small backported patch for gdb 6.5 that adds support for them (can be found e.g. in ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/development/source/SRPMS/gdb-6.5-3.fc6.src.rpm , I also attached it.

Assuming you want to ~arch the new binutils before a new gdb is release you might be interested.
