[submitted by Bruce Mitchener] Debian’s unstable distribution currently uses glibc 2.1 and GDB 4.18. However, there is no package of GDB for Debian with the appropriate threads patches that will work with glibc 2.1. I was able to get this to work by getting the GDB 4.18 RPM from Red Hat’s rawhide server and installing that. It has all of the patches necessary for debugging threaded software. These fixes are expected to be merged into GDB, which will fix the problem for Debian Linux.
