[Bug ada/11385] New: cannot catch Ada exceptions

["mark at advancedtechcorp dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

I keep getting "cannot insert catchpoints in this configuration when debugging a
gnat program with gdb.  Everything else works fine but not being able to trap on
an exception being raised is not very good.
