System: Linux link 2.6.12-10-amd64-generic #1 Mon Feb 13 12:14:05 UTC 2006 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Ubuntu 5.10)
GDB configuration: x86_64-linux-gnu
Package version: 6.3-6ubuntu2_amd64
GCC version (for compiled programs): 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu 4.0.1-4ubuntu9)
>Description:
When compiling any program on my AMD64 (running Ubuntu 5.10 AMD64 version) using the -ggdb3 switch, gdb segfaults on, e.g. "break main", "break 7", etc.

Does not segfault if the program was compiled with -ggdb.

Does not segfault on a 32-bit machine running Ubuntu 5.10.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile attached program with following command line:
gcc -Wall -ggdb3 binary.c -o binary
Run gdb:
gdb ./binary
Command
break main
causes a segfault.
