The problem is that std::sort checks that the condition !(a < a) holds, and currently this is not true. GDB's sort_cmp is really designed to sort lists in which no obj_section repeats, however, there is some code in place to try and ensure we get a stable sort order if there is a bug in GDB, unfortunately this code fails the above check. By reordering some of the checks inside sort_cmp, it is pretty easy to ensure that the !(a < a) condition holds. I've not bothered to make this condition check optimal, like I said this code is only in place to ensure that we get stable results if GDB goes wrong, so I've made the smallest change needed to get the correct behaviour. After this commit I see no regressions when running GDB compiled with -D_GLIBCXX_DEBUG=1. gdb/ChangeLog: * objfiles.c (sort_cmp): Ensure that !(a < a) holds true.
