[Bug shlibs/13159] New: fsf gdb x86_64-apple-darwin doesn't workwith Firefox


http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13159

             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

    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.

For anyone able to investigating this, simple Firefox build instructions can be
found at:
