Bug #: 13159
Summary: fsf gdb x86_64-apple-darwin doesn't work with Firefox
Product: gdb
Version: unknown
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: shlibs
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: jwatt@jwatt.org
CC: ehsan.akhgari@gmail.com, fawzi@gmx.ch,

Classification: Unclassified
gdb (built from the git repository) does not work with Mozilla Firefox. The
output I get is something like:
$ gdb Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
Reading symbols from Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox...done.
(gdb) run
Starting program: Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox
warning: can't find section '.const' in OSO file .../errorval.o
I get a constant flow of these "can't find section '.const' in OSO file"
warnings, until eventually gdb exhausts my 8 GB of RAM and I have to kill it.
The gdb that comes with Xcode works just fine...well, except that it's
horrendously old and missing tons of features.
