            Bug ID: 18690
           Summary: trying to debug Steam crashes gdb with "BFD: Please
                    report this bug."
           Product: gdb
           Version: 7.9
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: agentme49 at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm on Ubuntu 15.04 x64. I like playing games from Steam. Today Steam decided
to start segfaulting on every startup, so I tried to run it with gdb, but it
would crash gdb. I was also able to take a core dump of Steam when it crashed,
but trying to load the Steam coredump would cause gdb to exit with the same
error as follows:

You are using Ubuntu GDB, so you need to report this bug to Ubuntu.  We only
track bugs of FSF GDB source.  Secondly, we don't know how to reproduce this
error, it is impractical for GDB hacks to install Steam on their own machine.

How can anyone play bubble shooter games online for free? I'm searching for
various websites but found https://bubble-shooter.me/ that provides games. If
anyone knows more about this then let me know.
