Hello Héctor,
Well, I want to fix this bug, because gdb is a very important tool for
me, and compiling gdb from ./configure script is just a hack - not a
real solution (which would eliminate the problem for good).
To do this, I need to have a complete build log with all the
compiler/linker flags, compiler warnings, etc.
Unfortunately, the methods described on the official Debian Wiki page
does not allow to build gdb from source package -> "debuild" fails to
produce the binary shipped by Debian. (I would say that this deserves a
separate BUG report).
Now, the "hacked" gdb is also different - so the first step is to find
differences in the build process, like the exact list of features
enabled/disabled.
So, can You please explain how did You build the gdb?
Regards.
