PIE support update going to be checked-in for gdb-7.2:
http://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2010-06/msg00231.html

assumes in svr4_exec_displacement just P_VADDR and P_PADDR get displaced.
prelink sources contains adjust_dso() which may in some cases relocated
also/only P_OFFSET, P_FILESZ and/or P_MEMSZ.

This would disable the PIE adjustment in GDB making it fail on such PIE
inferior.  I am currently not aware of such sample program.
