Is it just me, or has this been fixed?  (I'm using "GNU gdb (GDB)
7.4.1-debian".)

This leaves me wondering: Is this really architecture-dependent, or is it just
due to chance (different addresses, hash collisions, etc.) that it works for me
and not for you?

My questions for you are:

1. What version of libc6-dev do you have installed?

2. What do you get for "info variables optind"?

I guess you're on x86?  My machines are amd64

Not at all the same as you:

    (gdb) info variables optind
    All variables matching regular expression "optind":

    Non-debugging symbols:
    0x0000000000600930  optind@@GLIBC_2.2.5

Interesting - "non-debugging symbols"?   Maybe I should install libc6-dbg?

Well, with libc6-dbg I get different output from info variables:

    All variables matching regular expression "optind":

    File getopt.c:
    int optind;

    Non-debugging symbols:
    0x0000000000600930  optind@@GLIBC_2.2.5

But "p" still doesn't show the version I want:

    (gdb) p &optind
    $1 = (int *) 0x7ffff7dd7130

It also exists in the executable, due to a COPY relocation.

Note also these possible approaches by Ian Lance Taylor
<http://www.sourceware.org/ml/gdb/2003-12/msg00165.html>:

gdb should always use the one in the executable.  That is the one the
code in the shared library will also be using, because that is the
address will be in the GOT.

In principle, while debugging shared library code, gdb could observe
that there is a GOT relocation for optind, and look at the GOT table
in memory to decide which address to use.

Alternatively, gdb could guess that if there is a global variable in
the executable, that any reference to that global variable in the
shared library will refer to the one in the executable.  This will
normally be true, but will fail in cases where the library is
controlling visibility in any of various different ways.

In practice I have no idea what gdb actually does.

Ian
