--- Comment #1 from Elias Probst <mail at eliasprobst dot eu> 2011-02-01 21:46:55 UTC ---
I can confirm this behaviour.

The crash happens in:
/usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so
which is a symlink to
/usr/lib64/mesa/i965_dri.so

The splitted debugging symbols reside in
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/mesa/i965_dri.so.debug

GDB is only able to create backtraces when copying the debugging symbols to
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so.debug


I thin the fix is actually rather simple: GDB should simply do a readlink() on
the path of the file which is analyzed before looking for the corresponding
debugging symbols file.
