--- Comment #14 from Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain at gmail dot com> --- Sorry for that regression, I did not have access to a lot of platforms to test. I agree that falling back to 'old_library' if 'library_names' is empty would be a good fix. Out of curiosity, do you know what GDB does with this libstdc++.a-gdb.py ? It's there so it can be loaded manually I guess, but the auto-load behaviour can't work for static libraries (or I'm missing something?)
