This GDB was configured as "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu".
>Description:
I've compiled an application (php) with debugging symbols, yet when I run it through gdb on an amd64 machine, I only get the memory addresses, no useful information.  I have verified that debugging symbols are in fact compiled into the binaries:

> # file /usr/lib64/php5/bin/php
> /usr/lib64/php5/bin/php: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, __not stripped__

And the coredump has debugging symbols in it:

> # strings core | grep zend
> zend_version
> zend_thread_safe
> zend_version
> (etc...)

Yet when I run the core through gdb this is what I get:

> # gdb php core
> GNU gdb 6.5
> This GDB was configured as "x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"...Using host libthread_db library "/lib/tls/libthread_db.so.1".
> Core was generated by `php -e test.php'.
> Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.
> #0  0x00002aaaac8d1e44 in ?? ()
> (gdb) thread apply bt all

> (etc...)

I can't get a useful backtrace from this in order to file a bug report with PHP.  PHP was configured with --enable-debug, and compiled with -g (also tried -g2 and -ggdb), and nothing has worked.
>How-To-Repeat:
Consistent.  Run php via gdb, or run a php core file through gdb.
>Fix:
Yes please :)
